Molecular thin films of the porphyrin derivative ruthenium mesoporphyrin-9-dimethyl ester carbonyl have been prepared on a range of substrates including hydrophobic glass, polyethylene, and silver bromide by the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique; irradiation of the films yields dimers, containing Ru![[double bond, length half m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e006.gif)
Ru bonds, which have been characterised by u.v. and i.r. spectroscopy.
