Photodecarbonylation of ruthenium carbonyl octaethylporphyrin via stepwise two-photon absorption of visible light
The photoinduced decarbonylation of a ruthenium(II) carbonyl octaethylporphyrin (RuOEP(CO)(Py)) complex has been shown to occur upon nanosecond pulse laser irradiation as a visible light excitation source, which is reasonably interpreted by a stepwise two-photon absorption process.
