A “Pretender” Croconate-Bridged Macrocyclic Tetraruthenium Complex: Sizable Redox Potential Splittings despite Electronically Insulated Divinylphenylene Diruthenium Entities

Careful optimization of the reaction conditions provided access to the particularly small tetraruthenium macrocycle <b><sup>2</sup>Ru<sub>2</sub>Ph-Croc</b>, which is composed out of two redox-active divinylphenylene-bridged diruthenium entities {Ru}-1,4-CH=CH-C&l...
