Heteroleptic N-6 coordinated ruthenium(II) complexes as building blocks for the formation of discrete Ru2Ag2 complexes

A heteroleptic N-6 coordinated Ru(II) complex acts as a building block for a discrete tetranuclear mixed metal (Ru2Ag2I)-Ag-II coordination compound; both complexes have been structurally characterised by X-ray crystallography.
