meso-Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin reacts with aminoalkylphosphoramidates to afford porphyrins substituted with one or four phosphoramidate groups in the 4-position of the meso-aryl groups. The new porphyrin derivatives show high photostability and some are better singlet oxygen generators than meso-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin, a well known good singlet oxygen producer.
