Orientation and Substituent Effects on the Properties of the Diacetylene-Group Connected Octaethylporphyrin–Dihexylbithiophene Derivatives (OEP–DHBTh–X) Carrying Electron-Withdrawing Groups
Orientational isomers of the octaethylporphyrin–dihexylbithiophene (OEP–DHBTh) derivatives connected with a diacetylene linkage were synthesized, with various electron-withdrawing substituents X attached at the ends. The effects of DHBTh orientation and X substituent on the properties of OEP–DHBTh–X (X = H, Br, CN, CHO, and NO2) were studied and compared with those of related OEP derivatives.
