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

- 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 .
