✦ Synopsis

The properties of cyclam, cyclen, and 1-(3-propylammonium) complexes of ruthenium(II/III), [Ru(macrocycle)LL ] n+ , and related species are reviewed. L and L are ligands such as chloro, aqua, hydroxo, nitriles, amides, imides, pyridines, and nitric oxide. These complexes display similarities and differences with related complexes such as Ru(III/II) ammines, with which they are compared and discussed. The factors responsible for the reactivity of the macrocyclic complexes include the macrocycle ring size, the metal oxidation state, and the properties of L and L . Such factors are illustrated with relevant data and recent results concerning the synthesis, structure, electrochemistry, complex reactivity, coordinated ligand reactivity, photochemistry, and electronic, infrared, and NMR spectral data for [Ru(macrocycle)LL ] n+ .
