Abstract:
Strategic placement of the bis-arylamino group at the meso-position of porphyrins allowed fusion of these two moieties via aromatic dehydrogenation. By placing two di(naphthalene-2-yl)amine or bis(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)amine groups at positions 5 and 15 of the porphyrin, the oxidative aromatic coupling was directed toward closing one six-membered ring. The extension of the porphyrin chromophore leads to significant change in linear optical properties, such as a bathochromic shift of absorption and broadening of the Q-band.
