title: Binuclear organometallic ruthenium complexes of a Schiff base expanded porphyrin.
abstract: The synthesis of binuclear organometallic ruthenium complexes of an expanded porphyrin-type macrocycle is reported; pyrrolic hydrogen bonding donors were found to interact with ancillary ligands in the primary coordination sphere and to stabilize coordinated dioxygen in an eta(2)-fashion.
