An extensive series of butyronitrile-substituted ruthenium chloride complexes [RuCl6 − nLn]z (n = 0–6; L═CH3(CH2)2CN or PrCN) has been prepared and characterized spectro-electrochemically. The complete series allowed the examination of the variation in electrode potential of RuIII/II couple and the accompanying trends in both Cl → Ru(III) and Ru(II) → PrCN charge-transfer spectra. Systematic analysis of electrochemical and spectroscopic data led to a conceptual representation of the relative frontier-orbital energies of ruthenium, chloride, and nitrile as a function of stoichiometry.

► A series of [RuCl6-nLn]z complexes has been characterized spectroelectrochemically.
► The RuIII/II redox potential varied linearly across the series.
► A non-additive ligand effect was notable in the truncated series n = 0, 1, trans-2.
► The Cl-to-Ru charge-transfer band moved irregularly across the series.
►
• The notional redox potential for the halide and nitrile ligands drifted as well.
