Four new ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(bpy)2(TMBiimH2)](ClO4)2 (Ru-5; bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine and TMBiimH2 is 4,5,4',5'-tetramethyl-2,2'-biimidazole), [Ru(bpy)2(L1H2)](ClO4)2·H2O (Ru-6; L1H2 is 4,5-dimethyl-2-(N,N-diacetyl)carboximidamide-1H-imidazole), [Ru(bpy)2(L2H2)](ClO4)2 (Ru-7; L2H2 is N(1),N(1),N(2),N(2)-tetrakis(acetyl)ethanediimidamide), and [Ru(phen)2(TMBiimH2)](ClO4)2 (Ru-8; phen is 1,10'-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized. Their photophysical and electrochemical properties have
