The diruthenium­(II,II) complex [Ru2(L1)­(OAc)3]Cl (1), spanned by a naphthyridine-diimine ligand and bridged by three acetates, has been synthesized. The catalytic efficacy of complex 1 has been evaluated for the acceptorless dehydrogenation (AD) of alcohols and for the dehydrogenative coupling rea...
