The reactions of [Ru(3)(CO)(12)] with four aromatic diazines have been studied in THF at reflux temperature. With phthalazine (L(1)), the compound [Ru(3)(μ-κ(2)N(2)N(3)-L(1))(μ-CO)(3)(CO)(7)] (1), which contains an intact phthalazine ligand in an axial position bridging an Ru-Ru edge through both N
