Preparation, Characterization, Electrochemistry, and Infrared Spectro­electrochemistry of Ruthenium ­Nitrosyl Porphyrins Containing η¹‐O‐Bonded Axial Carboxylates

Ultrafast photochemistry of free-base porphyrin: a theoretical investigation of B → Q internal conversion mediated by dark states

“…These features can be tuned in a variety of ways by substitution at the skeletal periphery or by incorporating metals. [8][9][10][11][12][13] The electronic properties of these heterocyclic tetrapyrrolic pigments also play a key role in the formation of aggregates 14 and their functionalization in the context of lightharvesting, e.g. in solar cells, or as potential agents in photodynamic therapy 3,[15][16][17][18][19][20] .…”

Ruthenium-nitrosyl complexes as NO-releasing molecules, potential anticancer drugs, and photoswitches based on linkage isomerism

“…50 NOBF 4 , was used to introduce the second NO ligand into the coordination sphere of ruthenium. 58 Other sources of NO such as oximes 59 and alkyl nitrites 60 were also successfully used for the generation of the RuNO unit. The most ubiquitous precursors recently exploited are summarized in Table 1.…”

Synthesis, Biomacromolecular Interactions, Photodynamic NO Releasing and Cellular Imaging of Two [RuCl(qn)(Lbpy)(NO)]X Complexes

“…Moreover, nitrosylruthenium complexes could also serve as drugs with the lower toxic side effects, modest photosensitivity and inherent stability under physiological environments [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Therefore, a great effort was taken for the synthesis and design of different types of nitrosylruthenium complexes in recent decade [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”
