Spectroscopic and electrochemical investigation of coordination complexes of octakis(benzylthio)tetraazaporphyrincobalt(II)

Synthesis of six new di- and pentanuclear complexes, by datively binding (bpy)2RuII, (phen)2RuII and Cp (PPh3)RuII units to the [Co(OBTTAP)], 1, periphery and their spectroscopic, fluorescence and redox properties are described.
