Windmill-Like Porphyrin Arrays as Potent Light-Harvesting Antenna Complexes.
TL;DR: Up to 14 porphyrin rings are present in the title compounds 1, which are readily available with high regioselectivity from linear nickel-zinc porphyrs, and upon irradiation with light a rapid energy transfer from the peripheral porphirin rings to the diporphyrIn core takes place.
Journal ArticleDOI
Doubly meso‐β‐Linked Diporphyrins from Oxidation of 5,10,15‐Triaryl‐Substituted NiII– and PdII – Porphyrins
TL;DR: In this paper, lower oxidation potentials than for the monomeric starting materials are displayed by diporphyrins obtained by one-electron oxidation with tris(4-bromophenyl)ammonium hexachloroantimonate.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The architecture of windmill hexameric zinc(II) -porphyrin array 1 is attractive as a light-harvesting functional unit in view of its three-dimensionally extended geometry that is favorable for a large cross-section of incident light as well as for a suitable energy gradient from the peripheral porphyrins to the meso-meso-linked diporphyrin core.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensionally arranged windmill and grid porphyrin arrays by AgI-promoted meso-meso block oligomerization
TL;DR: Competitive experiments with three linear porphyrin trimers bearing different peripheral metalloporphyrins (ZnII, NiII, and Cull) suggested that an initial one-electron oxidation of the easily oxidizable peripheral ZnII beta-octaalkylporphyrin with an AgI ion and a subsequent endothermic hole transfer assist the generation of the radical cation at the central Zn II beta-free porphyrsin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile regioselective meso-iodination of porphyrins
TL;DR: In this paper, a mixture of CHCl 3 and pyridine (60:1) resulted in meso-iodination of porphyrins with high regioselectivity.
