Abstract
A shift in focus: Fully oxidized pterins coordinated to ruthenium(II) undergo a first protonation at the nitrogen atom at the 1-position of the pyrimidinone moiety. Subsequent one-electron reduction induces an unprecedented proton shift from the nitrogen atom at the 1-position to that at the 8-position of the pyrazine moiety (see picture; C white, H yellow, N blue, O red).
