Their electrochemical properties were assessed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear optical and quadratic nonlinear optical (NLO) properties assayed by UV/Vis‐NIR spectroscopy and hyper‐Rayleigh scattering studies at 1064 nm, respectively, and their linear optical properties in the formally RuIII state examined by UV/Vis‐NIR spectroelectrochemistry. These data were compared to those of analogues with E‐ene and yne linkages in place of the azo groups. Computational studies using time‐dependent density functional theory were undertaken on model compounds (Ru2′–Ru4′) to rationalize the optical behaviour of the experimental complexes.
