| he organometallic and coordination chemistry of ruthenium and osmium porphyrin complexes has been studied. The chemical behavior of the group VIII transition metal porphyrins is an area of interest in inorganic, organometallic, and bioinorganic chemistry. This dissertation describes several important advances in the area of organometallic chemistry of ruthenium and osmium porphyrins. This organometallic and coordination chemistry has been studied using the previously synthesized and characterized binuclear ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) porphyrin dimer complexes, (Ru(OEP))... |
