Abstract
Facing facts: Coordination of Cp*Ru (Cp*=C(5)Me(5)) to the concave and convex π surfaces of subphthalocyanines constitutes a new approach to the functionalization of subazaporphyrins. While the convex face shows higher reactivity, coordination to the concave side produces a stronger diatropic influence on the Cp* ligand and a greater perturbation of the macrocyclic π-electronic features.
