A facile photosynthesis of trans-dioxoruthenium(VI) porphyrins.
Photolysis of porphyrin-ruthenium(IV) dichlorate complexes with visible light results in homolytic cleavage of the O-Cl bond in the chlorates to form trans-dioxoruthenium(VI) species bearing either sterically encumbered or unencumbered porphyrin ligands.
