Herein, we report diruthenium(III) complexes bridged by the deprotonated N,N′-diphenylpyrazine-2,5-dicarboxamide (H 2 L 1 ) and N,N′-dimesitylpyrazine-2,5-dicarboxamide (H 2 L 2 ) ligands in meso diastereomeric form, namely, (acac) 2 Ru III (μ-L 1 )Ru III (acac) 2 (1, acac = acetylacetonato) and (acac) 2 -Ru III (μ-L 2 )Ru III (acac) 2 (2), as well as the monodeprotonated HL 1derived mononuclear counterpart (acac) 2 Ru III (HL 1 ) (3). Variabletemperature magnetic studies of 1 revealed a weak bridgemediated intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction with J = -7.58 cm -1 . The dinuclear complexes exhibited anisotropic electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals at g ≈ 2 along with half-field signals at g 1/2 ≈ 4, whereas the mononuclear counterpart 3 displayed an EPR signal with rhombic symmetry. Complexes 1 and 2 exhibited two oxidation and reduction steps [a]
