Three binuclear Ru(II) bimacrocyclic cofacial complexes X(TZ)Ru(bpy)Ru(TZ)X(PF/sub 6/)/sub 4/ (TZ = 2,7,12,17-tetramethyl-1,6,11,16-tetraazaporphyrinogen; X = Me/sub 2/SO, CH/sub 3/CN, or pyridine; bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine) and two tetranuclear tetramacrocylic homologues have been prepared in order to study their capacities as electron carriers. /sup 1/H NMR data and redox potential measurements show that no interaction occurs between the metal centers under these experimental conditions. The insertion in bilayer lipid membranes gives rise to stationary photocurrents of small amplitude.
