Coupled to coenzymes : Ruthenium( II ) complexes having a pterin as a ligand, which is a redox‐active heteroaromatic coenzyme, are synthesized and characterized to reveal that the complexes showed reversible proton‐dependent redox behavior (see scheme). The pterin ligand undergoes proton‐coupled electron transfer to form a ruthenium( II )‐coordinated monohydropterin radical upon one‐electron reduction.
