Abstract:We report the synthesis and characterization of two porphyrin arrays C 6 F 5 -PyZnDP and Mes-PyZnDP covalently linked by a pyrene moiety which differs from their substituents at their meso-positions. The key precursor bis-dipyrromethane linked with a pyrene bridge was prepared by the acidcatalyzed condensation of pyrene-1,6-dialdehyde with excess pyrrole. The synthesis of C 6 F 5 -PyZnDP was carried out via two different synthetic routes, with one being efficient over the other. Therefore, the superior route w… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
