Abstract
The electronic structure of a ruthenium dimer is calculated by SW-Xα. The configuration lσg2πu 4δg 4δu 42σg2, corresponding to a quadruple bond and an equilibrium distance of 1.94 A are found. Ionization potentials and electronic transition energies for bonding molecular orbitals are calculated. Changes in the chemical bonding in the series Mo2-Tc2-Ru2 are examined.
