Exploring and exploiting Ruthenium-porphyrin complexes : functionalization, atropisomerism, small-molecule recognition, catalysis, and biological implications

This thesis represents a contribution to advances in ruthenium-porphyrin chemistry. The synthesis of Ru(carbonyl) porphyrins via a new metallation strategy using hexakis(N,N-dimethylformamide)ruthenium(III) triflate is examined in detail, covering a broad range of porphyrins. Mechanistic insights, a...
