Synthesis of Bipyridylene-Bridged Bisporphyrin by Nickel-Mediated Coupling Reaction: ON−OFF Control of Cofacial Porphyrin Unit by Reversible Complexation
摘要:
Novel bipyridylene-bridged bisporphyrin la, in which two porphyrin units were attached directly to symmetrical 4,4'-positions of the 2,2'-bipyridyl group, was synthesized by a nickel(0)-mediated homocoupling reaction of 5,10,15-tris(n-heptyl)-20-(2'-bromo-4'-pyridyl)porphyrinatozinc (3a) in 58% yield. Spatial geometries of two porphyrins in la were regulated by reversible complexation of the bipyridyl part with PdCl(2). Thus, the addition of 2.2 equiv of palladium chloride to la converted the freely rotating conformation to the cofacial bisporphyrin 2a. The subsequent addition of 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine 9 regenerated the initial bisporphyrin 1a.

Construction of a self-assembled supramolecular macroring that has distances and orientations of porphyrin dimer units in close analogy to those of the natural light-harvesting complexes was achieved. In natural light-harvesting complexes, bacteriochlorophyll-a's are arranged in macroring structures by coordination from imidazolyl side chains.

complementary slippedcofacialdimer of imidazolyl-substituted zinc porphyrin, bearing pyromellitdiimide as the electron acceptor. In the case of the dimer, the first and second oxidation potentials were split into a total of four peaks in the differential pulse voltammetry measurement. Furthermore, the shift values of the first oxidation potentials obtained by changing the solvent polarity for the dimer were

Coordination Assembled Rings of Ferrocene-Bridged Trisporphyrin with Flexible Hinge-like Motion: Selective Dimer Ring Formation, Its Transformation to Larger Rings, and Vice Versa
Ferrocene-bridged trisporphyrin (2) was synthesized by two-steps condensation of corresponding aldehydes and dipyrromethanes, and its self-assembling behavior based on the complementary coordination motif of imidazolylporphyrinatozinc(II) was investigated in conjunction with hinge-like flexibility given by freely rotating cyclopentadienyl rings of ferrocene connector. Ferrocene-bridged trisporphyrin (2) spontaneously and exclusively generated the dimeric ring (7) upon simple zinc(II) insertion, indicating that the freely rotating hinge connector favored the smallest ring formation. Taking advantage of the unique hinge-like flexibility of ferrocene, we attempted to transform the dinner ring into a mixture of porphyrin macrocycles by reorganizing the structure cleaved once by pyridine. A series of porphyrin macrocycles from trimer to decamer can be separated into its components by preparative gel permeation chromatograms. Macrocycles obtained are kept stable in the absence of coordinating solvents. On the other hand, they were easily transformed to the dimer ring in the presence of coordinating solvents such as methanol, showing that the transformation is completely reversible and can be controlled by the choice of the solvent system. A series of porphyrin macrocycles was confirmed via covalent linking of each complementary coordination dinner pair by metathesis reaction in the presence of Grubbs's catalyst. The coordination behavior of the bidentate ligands with different spacer lengths toward the dimer ring revealed that only the bidentate ligand (15) with a spacer length that matched the facing central porphyrins was selectively accommodated inside the ring. Coordination assembled flexible rings with tunable cavities and multiple coordination sites will be used as versatile hosts for a wide variety of guest molecules.
Strong Two-Photon Absorption of Self-Assembled Butadiyne-Linked Bisporphyrin
Two-photon absorption (2PA) properties of self-assembled porphyrins were investigated. The butadiyne-linked porphyrin array exhibited a 20 times larger 2PA cross section than the meso-meso-linked self-assembled array due to the expansion of pi-conjugation. Higher-order nonlinear absorption was also observed in the former porphyrin.
