Abstract
A four-electron oxidation of meso-octaethylporphyrinogen (H4L') involv ing the dealkylation of two meso carbons has been observed in the reac tion between [Ru(Cl)2(PhCN)4] and [Li4L'(THF)4] leading to [RuL(PhCN)2 ] which contains two hemiporphyrin fragments joined by two sp3 carbons , as shown by an X-ray analysis.
