Oxidation-Induced Detachment of Ruthenoarene Units and Oxygen Insertion in Bis-Pd(II) Hexaphyrin π-Ruthenium Complexes

Two types of new bis-Pd(II) hexaphyrin π-ruthenium complexes are reported. A double-decker bis-Pd(II) hexaphyrin π-ruthenium complex <b>4</b> was obtained by oxidation-induced detachment of a ruthenoarene unit from the triple-decker complex <b>3</b> and oxygen-inserted triple...
