Synthesis, structure and physicochemical properties of a saddle-distorted porphyrin with a peripheral carboxyl group

    A saddle-distorted porphyrin bearing a carboxyl group as a hydrogen-bonding site on a meso-phenyl group was synthesized and characterized. A supramolecular structure with intermolecular hydrogen bonding was revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The effects of the peripheral carboxyl group on the physicochemical properties of the porphyrin as well as on self-assembly were investigated by spectroscopic measurements in solutions. The redox properties of the porphyrin and its Zn(II) complex were also studied by electrochemical measurements and their application to dye-sensitized solar cells was examined.

    Dedicated to Professor John A. Shelnutt on the occasion of his 65th birthday

    • The UV-vis spectrum of the crystalline sample in THF also supported the assignment that the (HNEt3) [H2DPP(COO)] was protonated during the recrystallization. The spectra exhbited intense absorption around 715 nm and the Soret band (λmax = 492 nm) showed red shift by 24 nm compared to that of [H2DPP(COO)]- formed by adding excess amount of triethylamine and the spectroscopic observations corresponded to the specific features of diprotonated DPPs .

    • In the previous report (see reference 11), we observed the 1H signals for 4-pyridine carboxylate in the (H4DPP)(4-pyridine carboxylate)2 supramolecule at 5.97 and 7.68 ppm for the 3,5- and 2,6-protons, respectively. The degree of the up-field shifts is similar to those observed in this work . Google Scholar
