Tetraphyrins(1.1.1.1) (Porphyrins) were merged with amino acids forming a direct bond between a meso-position of macrocycle and a nitrogen available in the side chain of the amino acid. The following intramolecular fusion observed for a free base porphyrin forms a structure with extended [Formula: see text]-delocalisation on the additional carbocyclic fragment, that substantially modifies the observed absorption and emission. A further modulation of electron behaviour has been observed for a deprotonated form of the fused system. A nitrogen atom introduced into the system can be treated as a switching factor that controls the delocalisation significantly influencing the emission by shifting between the available amine and imine tautomeric forms.
四卟啉(1.1.1.1)(卟啉)与氨基酸合并,在大环的中位和氨基酸侧链中的氮之间形成直接键。自由基卟啉的分子内融合形成了一种结构,在额外的碳环片段上具有扩展的[式:见正文]异定位,从而大大改变了所观察到的吸收和发射。在融合体系的去质子化形式中,还观察到电子行为的进一步变化。引入该体系的氮原子可被视为一个开关因子,通过在现有的胺和亚胺同分异构形式之间转换,控制着对发射有重大影响的脱局域。
