Double Ring Expansion from an Aromatic [18]Porphyrin(1.1.1.1) to an Antiaromatic [20]Porphyrin(2.1.2.1)

Double ring expansion from a 5,15‐diarylporphyrin to a 5,16‐diaryl‐10,11,21,22‐tetradehydro[20]porphyrin(2.1.2.1) occurred through a reaction sequence consisting of oxidation with PbO₂ to 5,15‐dioxoporphodimethene, a Corey–Fuchs reaction with tetrabromomethane in the presence of triphenylphosphine, and Fritsch–Buttenberg–Wiechell rearrangement triggered by tert‐butyllithium. The obtained tetradehydro[20]porphyrin(2.1.2.1) and its mono‐ and dihydrogenated congeners exhibited 20 π antiaromatic character, whereas overhydrogenated congeners bearing a saturated bridge were nonaromatic owing to disrupted π conjugation.

Study of the Suppression of Porphyrin Emission upon Addition of Rare Earth Ions

A topic of constant investigation in recent decades has been the study of electron and/or energy transfer reactions in supramolecular systems. The energy transfer between donor-acceptor depends on the influence of the substituent in the intersystem crossing. The competition between the radiative and non-radiative processes also depends on other factors such as temperature, solvent and energy gap. In this work, we have studied the suppression of the emission of monocarboxyphenyl porphyrins after addition of rare earth ions (RE(III)). The porphyrin emission decreases with the addition of RE(III), no matter which ion is present. When Eu(III) was used, the emission of this ion was not observed either. This suppression happens due to the effect of the heavy atom and not due to the energy transfer through electronic levels between the porphyrin and the RE(III). After the addition of RE(III), the lifetime for MCTPPH₂ started to decay biexponentially, indicating the formation of a new species (MCTPPH₂-RE(III)) of a shorter lifetime. The presence of NO₂ groups in the ortho mesoaryl positions of MCTNPPH₂ and the presence of Zn(II) in Zn(MCTPP) decreased both the porphyrin lifetime and emission due to an increase in the spin-orbit coupling.     

Synthesis of β-pyrrole and β-thiophene substituted 21,23-dithia and 21-monothiaporphyrins

A series of β-pyrrole and β-thiophene substituted porphyrins with N₂S₂ and N₃S porphyrin cores were synthesized and characterized. The introduction of substituents at β-pyrrole and β-thiophene carbons resulted in significant shifts in ¹H NMR, absorption and fluorescence maxima. These effects were attributed to alteration of the porphyrin ring current caused by substituents at β-positions.     

Inverted porphyrins and expanded porphyrins: An overview

Porphyrins and metallopophyrins have attracted the attention of chemists for the past 100 years or more owing to their widespread involvement in biology. More recently, synthetic porphyrins and porphyrin-like macrocycles have attracted the attention of researchers due to their diverse applications as sensitizers for photodynamic therapy, MRI contrasting agents, and complexing agents for larger metal ions and also for their anion binding abilities. The number of π-electrons in the porphyrin ring can be increased either by increasing the numberof conjugated double bonds between the pyrrole rings or by increasing the number of heterocyclic rings. Thus, 22π sapphyrins, 26π rubyrins, 30π heptaphyrins, 34π octaphyrins and higher cyclic polypyrrole analogues containing 40π, 48π, 64π, 80π and 96π systems have recently been reported in the literature. These macrocycles show rich structural diversity where normal and different kinds of inverted structures have been identified. In this review, an attempt has been made to collect the literature of the inverted porphyrins and expanded porphyrins reported until December 2001. Since themeso aryl expanded porphyrins have tendency to form both inverted and non-inverted structures more emphasis has been given tomeso aryl expanded porphyrins.     

Molecular Receptors Based on Expanded Porphyrins

Studies on the design and synthesis of receptor molecules capable of selectively binding and transporting substrates (neutral, anionic and cationic) is currently being pursued to develop artificial membranes permeable to the bound species. Expanded porphyrin systems by virtue of increased cavity size and aromatic nature are capable of binding a variety of substrates depending on the nature of the porphyrin and the cavity size. Recently there are a number of reports on the use of expanded porphyrins as molecular receptors for various substrates. Specifically, expanded porphyrins such as sapphyrins and rubyrins in their protonated form bind a variety of anionic and neutral substrates and it has been shown that they act as carriers for transporting different ionic and neutral species. Additionally, expanded porphyrins find their application as MRI contrasting agents and as sensitizers for photodynamic therapy. In this review, an attempt has been made to discuss molecular receptor properties in the solid and solution phases of two expanded porphyrins, sapphyrin and rubyrin which are 22 and 26 electron systems respectively. Furthermore, the synthesis, binding and transport properties of core modified expanded porphyrin systems are also highlighted.     

Schiff bases of nickel(II), copper(II) porphyrins and dibenzo-18-crown-6 interspersed bis -metal porphyrins. Protonation studies

Schiff-base (SB) derivatives of Ni(II) and Cu(II) porphyrins endowed with various amine functions (R−NH₂),n-butylamine,p-anisidine andm-nitroaniline have been prepared from corresponding formyl porphyrins. Protonation studies of these SB derivatives reveal a marked red shift of the optical absorption bands in the visible region relative to the unprotonated imines. The magnitude of the observed red shifts in the protonated derivatives, (SBH⁺) are found to depend on the electron-withdrawing or electron-donating nature of the R group of the amines. The results of the optical absorption,¹H NMR, EPR, and cyclicovoltammetric studies are illustrative of the fact that protonation of the SB derivatives results in a localized positive charge, in the periphery of the porphyrin (p) system. The dibenzo-18-crown-6 interspersedbisporphyrin schiff bases have been prepared fromtrans 4,4′-diamino dibenzo-18-crown-6 and formyl porphyrins. The protonation of these SB derivatives is found to proceed in a concerted fashion. The cation complexation studies by the crown ether entity in thebisporphyrin systems have been investigated using optical absorption, magnetic resonance and electrochemical methods. The redox characteristics of the protonated dimeric SB porphyrins reveal that the first oxidation step involves a two-electron transfer reaction. This is important in view of their possible usage in multielectron transfer reactions of biological and catalytic interest.     

Iron porphyrins-catalysed oxidation of α-alkyl substituted mono and dimethoxylated benzyl alcohols

The mechanisms of oxidation of a series of a-alkyl substituted mono and dimethoxylated benzyl alcohols catalysed by mesotetrakis(4-N-methylpyridynium)porphyrin iron (III) chloride (FeTMPyPCl) and meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin iron (III) chloride (FeTSPPCl) in aqueous solution with KHSO₅ as oxygen atom donor and by meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)-porphyrin iron (III) chloride (FeTPFPPCl) in dichloromethane employing iodosylbenzene as oxidant have been investigated. In the highly polar aqueous medium an electron transfer mechanism is operating. With FeTMPyPCl, which is a much more efficient catalyst than FeTSPPCl due to the presence of stronger electron withdrawing substituents, formation of side-chain oxidation products accompanies generation of nuclear oxidation products. In the low polar solvent dichloromethane, two competing mechanism have been suggested: hydrogen atom transfer and formation of a complex between the active species iron-oxo porphyrin radical cation and the substrate.      

Review: Recent advances in the investigations of NO activation on cobalt and manganese porphyrins: a brief review

Cobalt and manganese porphyrins are known for their ability to activate small molecules. This is particularly important in the case of nitric oxide, whose role and mechanism of action in the redox biological systems have not yet been fully recognized. The goal of this article is to draw attention to some of the current trends of research in this area. The interactions involving NO itself and the primary products of its oxidation (nitrite) and reduction (nitroxyl) have been distinguished and separately discussed. The diversity of undertaken issues sheds light on both the expected behavior in biologically relevant systems as well as potential practical applications.

Halide Anion Mediated Dimerization of a meso‐Unsubstituted N‐Confused Porphyrin

The new N‐confused porphyrin (NCP) derivatives, meso‐unsubstituted β‐alkyl‐3‐oxo N‐confused porphyrin (3‐oxo‐NCP) and related macrocycles, were synthesized from appropriate pyrrolic precursors by a [3+1]‐type condensation reaction. 3‐Oxo‐NCP forms a self‐assembled dimer in dichloromethane that is stabilized by complementary hydrogen‐bonding interactions arising from the peripheral amide‐like moieties. The protonated form of 3‐oxo‐NCP was observed to bind halide anions (F^?, Cl^?) through the outer NH and the inner pyrrolic NH groups, thus affording a dimer in dichloromethane. The structure of the chloride‐bridged dimer in the solid state was determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Synthesis,Structures, and Near‐IR Absorption of Heterole‐Fused Earring Porphyrins

A reaction sequence of regioselective peripheral bromination, Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with 2‐borylated thiophene or pyrrole, and oxidative ring‐closure with FeCl₃ allowed the synthesis of heterole‐fused earring porphyrins 4Pd and 9Pd from the parent earring porphyrin 1 . Differently pyrrole‐fused porphyrins 5H and 6H and their Pd^II complexes 5Pd and 6Pd were also synthesized. The structures of 4Pd , 5H, 6Pd , and 8Pd have been revealed by X‐ray analysis to be slightly twisted owing to constraints imposed by heterole‐fused structures. 5Pd exhibits an intensified band at 1505 nm, while 4Pd and 9Pd display small but remarkably red‐shifted absorption bands reaching around 2200 nm.     

cis-Pyridyl core-modified porphyrins for the synthesis of cationic water-soluble porphyrins and unsymmetrical non-covalent porphyrin arrays

Synthesis of a series of 21-thia and 21-oxoporphyrin building blocks containing two pyridyl functional groups at the meso positions in a cis fashion is reported. The building blocks were used to synthesize a series of cationic water-soluble 21-thia and 21-oxoporphyrins. An unsymmetrical non-covalent trimer containing two dissimilar porphyrin cores such as one N₃S and two N₄ porphyrins cores was also constructed using the pyridyl porphyrin building blocks reported here.     

Supramolecular Assemblies of Sulfur- and Selenium- Containing Expanded Porphyrins Mediated Through Noncovalent Interactions

Abstract

Various supramolecular assemblies based on expanded porphyrins building blocks containing sulfur and/or selenium in the core, formed through multiple non-covalent hydrogen bonding interactions are highlighted. Specifically, modified expanded porphyrins such as 22 π sapphyrins, 26 π rubyrins, and 34 π octaphyrins self assemble in solid state through C–H…O, C–H…N, C–H…S, C–H…Se, C–H…π, and C–H…Cl interactions to form dimeric, oligomeric, and three dimensional networks. Furthermore, the supramolecular networks promoted by trapped solvent molecules such as nitrobenzene and bound anions such as chloride or trifluoroacetate through noncovalent interactions will be discussed.     

Calixarene-based metalloporphyrins: molecular tweezers for complexation of DABCO

We investigated the formation of host-guest complexes between zinc porphyrins covalently attached to calixarenes via amidic bonds and a small bidentate ligand bearing two nitrogen atoms. Depending upon the calixarene structure (S vs CH₂ bridges), the ligand 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) is complexed by metalloporphyrin units by two different ways. While the thiacalix[4]arene prefers an intramolecularly closed cavity with a binding constant of (1.0±0.1)×10⁷ M⁻¹ in CHCl₃ at 294 K (stoichiometry 1:1), the classical calix[4]arene forms a complex by ligation of both porphyrin units separately (stoichiometry 2:1). The differences observed can be rationalized in terms of cavity size and the preorganization due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the calixarene lower rim.
