Mononuclear ruthenium complexes [RuCl(L1)(CH3CN)2](PF6) (2a), [RuCl(L2)(CH3CN)2](PF6) (2b), [Ru(L1)(CH3CN)3](PF6)2 (4a), [Ru(L2)(CH3CN)3](PF6)2 (4b), [Ru(L2)2](PF6)2 (5), [RuCl(L1)(CH3CN)(PPh3)](PF6) (6), [RuCl(L1)(CO)2](PF6) (7), and [RuCl(L1)(CO)(PPh3)](PF6) (8), and a tetranuclear complex [Ru2Ag2Cl2(L1)2(CH3CN)6](PF6)4 (3) containing 3-(1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)-1-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)imidazolylidene (L1) and 3-butyl-1-(1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)imidazolylidene (L2) have been prepared and fully characterized by NMR, ESI-MS, UV-vis spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Both L1 and L2 act as pincer NNC donors coordinated to ruthenium (II) ion. In 3, the Ru(II) and Ag(I) ions are linked by two bridging Cl− through a rhomboid Ag2Cl2 ring with two Ru(II) extending to above and down the plane. Complexes 2–8 show absorption maximum over the 354–428 nm blueshifted compared to Ru(bpy)32+ due to strong σ-donating and weak π-acceptor properties of NHC ligands. Electrochemical studies show Ru(II)/Ru(III) couples over 0.578–1.274 V.
