title: First synthesis of porphyrin-fused 1,10-phenanthroline-ruthenium(II) complexes.
abstract: Synthesis of [Ru(phenP)(3)](PF(6))(2), where phenP = phenanthrolinoporphyrin, has been achieved by the reaction of phenanthrolinoporphyrins with RuCl(3) for the first time. The phenP reacted with Ru(II) to form RuL(2)(phenP)(2+) complexes (L = 2,2'-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline), which were converted into the dyads Ru-phenP(Zn) on treatment with zinc acetate.
