The corresponding singly and doubly reduced complexes [{Ru(l-N4Me2)}(2)(-tape(.-))](PF6)(3) {[2](PF6)(3)} and [{Ru(l-N4Me2)}(2)(-tape(2-))](PF6)(2) {[3](PF6)(2)}, respectively, were electrochemically generated, successfully isolated and fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic methods and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The singly reduced complex [2](PF6)(3) contains the -radical tape(.-) and the doubly reduced [3](PF6)(2) the diamagnetic dianion tape(2-) as bridging ligand, respectively. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution at the bridging tape in [1](4+) by two sulfite units gave the complex [{Ru(l-N4Me2)}(2){-tape-(SO3)(2)}](2+) ([4](2+)). Complex dication [4](2+) was exploited as a redox mediator between an anaerobic homogenous reaction solution of an enzyme system (sulfite/sulfite oxidase) and the electrode via participation of the low-energy *-orbital of the disulfonato-substituted bridging ligand tape-(SO3)(2)(2-) (E-red1=-0.1V versus Ag/AgCl/1m KCl in water).
