Porphyrin

A new previously unknown double intramolecular cyclization has been discovered on thermolyzing nickel complexes of Schiff's bases of porphyrins containing propionic acid ester residues. This leads to the formation of cyclopentaneporphyrin lactams. Using coproporphyrin-I and -II derivatives as examples, the corresponding lactams were obtained, the structures of which were confirmed by PMR spectra using the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE). A general scheme for the thermal decomposition of Schiff's bases of meso-formylporphyrins is proposed.For Communication 25, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 180–188, February, 1993.     

Porphyrin acids

The structural change from the porphyrin free base to monoacid and diacid by successive protonation has been studied by the IR, visible and NMR spectroscopy. The results have indicated that the cation and anion of the porphyrin diacid are strongly associated through H-bonding. The far IR spectra show especially marked differences in the free base, monoacid, and diacid due to the changes of the inner core of the porphyrin ring.

Fabrication of Fluorescent Porphyrin/Polystyrene Composite Nanospheres by Electrospinning

Fluorescent polystyrene(PS)/porphyrin(TPPA) composite nanospheres were successfully fabricated by electrospinning. The SEM images clearly show that owing to adding TPPA in PS, the averaged diameter of the composite nanospheres became smaller, from 1500 to 580 nm. Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR) spectra determined the chemical composition of the resulting PS/TPPA composite nanospheres. The photoluminescent(PL) spectral analysis indicates that the peak position of the composite nanospheres in either solid st...     

HgII-Mediated TlI-to-TlIII Oxidation in Dynamic PbII/Tl Porphyrin Complexes

Compared with their purely organic counterparts, molecular switches that are based on metal ion translocations have been underexplored, and more particularly, it remains challenging to control the translocation of several particles in multisite receptors. Recently, bimetallic complexes that undergo double translocation processes have been developed with bis-strapped porphyrin ligands. To implement a redox control for these systems, we have investigated the formation of heterobimetallic lead/thallium complexes, with thallium in the +I and +III oxidation states. Two different complexes were characterized: 1) a Pb^II/Tl^I complex, in which both metal ions interact with the N-core on its different sides, and 2) a Pb^II/Tl^III complex with Tl^III selectively bound to the N-core and Pb^II selectively bound to the strap opposite to Tl^III. These two complexes undergo interconversion between their two degenerate forms (same coordination of the metal ions but on opposite sides) by different intra or intermolecular translocation pathways. In addition, conversion of the Pb^II/Tl^I complex into its Pb^II/Tl^III counterpart was achieved by addition of a stoichiometric amount of Hg^II salt as a sacrificial electron acceptor. These results further contribute to the elaboration of devices that feature redox-controlled compartmentalized double translocations.     

Interlocked Porphyrin Switches

We describe the synthesis of a series of interlocked structures from porphyrin–glycoluril cage compounds and bis(olefin)‐terminated viologens by an olefin‐metathesis protocol. The length of the chain connecting the olefin substituents with the viologen has a marked effect on the products of the ring‐closure reaction. Long chains give [2]‐ and [3]catenane structures, whereas short chains give a mixture of [3]‐, [4]‐, and [5]catenanes. For comparison several [2]rotaxane compounds were prepared. The interlocked catenane and rotaxane structures display switching behavior, which can be controlled by the addition of acid and base. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the switching processes have been determined by NMR spectroscopy.     

Enhanced Electron Transfer Ability via Coordination in Block Copolymer/Porphyrin/Fullerene Micelle

Inspired by structures of antenna-reaction centers in photosynthesis,the complex micelle was prepared from zinc tetra-phenyl porphyrin (ZnTPP),fullerene derivative (PyC60) and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG-bPCL).The core-shell structure made the hydrophobic donor-acceptor system work in aqueous.In micellar core,coordination interaction occurred between ZnTPP and PyC60 molecules which ensured the enhanced energy migration from the donor to the acceptor.The enhanced interaction between porphyrin and fullerene was confirmed by absorption,steady-state fluorescence and transient fluorescence.The generation of singlet oxygen and superoxide radical was detected by iodide method and reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium,respectively,which confirmed that electron transfer reaction in the complex micellar core occurred.Moreover,the complex micelle exhibited effective electron transfer performance in photodebromination of 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropionic acid.The complex micellar structure endowed the donor-acceptor system with improved stability under irradiation.This strategy could be helpful for designing new electron transfer platform and artificial photosynthetic system.     

乙酸/氧气法高效合成取代卟啉

卟啉在结构上可视为是由4个吡咯类亚甲基的α-碳原子通过次甲基桥互联而形成的大分子杂环化合物,具有高度共轭结构。 随着卟啉与金属的配合物即金属卟啉的催化特性受到广泛关注,取代卟啉的高效合成日益显示出重要的学术和应用价值。 但是现有的丙酸法和乙酸/硝基苯法存在卟啉收率低、环境污染严重等问题,导致取代卟啉的成本居高不下,限制了其广泛应用。 本文利用乙酸/氧气法,在120 ℃下控制反应物浓度为0.24 mol/L,并在反应第一阶段(前30 min)通入氧气,得到四(4-溴苯基)卟啉(化合物d),产率高达53.8%。 该方法是高效合成取代卟啉的新方法,卟啉骨架形成和氧化两个反应同时进行,方法简单、绿色且收率高,有望大幅度降低取代卟啉的合成成本。

Perfluorophenyl-Directed Giant Porphyrin J-Aggregates

Quadrupolar interactions of porphyrin bearing two pentafluorophenylethynyl terminals ( 1 ) drove the formation of a successive one-dimensional staircase structure, i.e., J-aggregates, to yield millimeter-length needles with a single-crystalline character in methylcyclohexane solution. In contrast, π-stacked interactions of porphyrin bearing two nonfluorinated phenyl terminals ( 2 ) formed no aggregates in solution. A spin-cast film of 1 also showed bathochromic shift of the Soret and Q bands, indicating the formation of J-aggregates. The molecular arrangement of the J-aggregates was revealed by microbeam glazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray diffraction (GIWAXD), and was in good agreement with the optimized structure generated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Monodisperse Giant Porphyrin Arrays

Our synthetic attempts for the preparation oligo‐ and polyporphyrin arrays were reviewed in comparison with recent accomplishment in the related field. Especially, the synthesis and structural characteristics of huge monodisperse meso‐meso linked porphyrin arrays with multidimensional architectures were focused. The Ag^I‐promoted meso‐meso coupling reaction of 5,15‐diaryl and 5,10,15‐triaryl Zn^II‐porphyrins is advantageous in light of its high regioselectivity, as well as its easy extension to large porphyrin arrays. When applied to 1,4‐phenylene‐bridged linear porphyrin substrates, the coupling reaction gave three‐dimensionally arranged windmill‐shaped and grid‐shaped porphyrin arrays. The meso‐meso coupling doubling reaction was repeated up to the synthesis of a discrete 128‐mer. During these attempts, many porphyrin arrays were isolated in a discrete form by repetitive gel‐permeation chromatography and, interestingly, all the arrays exhibited high solubility in common organic solvents in spite of their giant molecular size. Furthermore, the Ag^I‐promoted coupling reaction was extended to the preparation of long polyporphyrinylenes under slightly modified conditions by either adding N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMA) or heating slightly.
