Abstract

Abstract3‐Pyridyl‐5,15‐diazaporphyrin nickel(II) serves as a bidentate metalloligand for platinum(II), ruthenium(II), and rhenium(I) metal centers. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of these metal complexes unambiguously reveals the presence of a dative bond between the outer metal center and the meso‐nitrogen atom. The UV/Vis absorption spectra of the complexes show substantially red‐shifted bands which are perturbed by outer‐metal coordination. This is due to the contribution of metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer interactions.
