12. In the reaction, the three possible RuPc (1-3) bearing different axial pyridine ligands are formed: RuPc 1 is functionalized with two different pyridine ligands (namely, 4-carboxypyridine and 4-cyanopyridine), whereas RuPc's 2 and 3 carry two 4-cyanopyridine and 4-carboxypyridine ligands, respectively. The three compounds can be easily separated by column chromatography (see Supporting Information for more details).
