A calcium-bridged porphyrin coordination network

Ethynylene - bridged Porphyrin Fluorene Composites

Porphyrin-fluorene conjugates bridged by ethynylene were synthesized through Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. These molecules showed strong nonlinear absorption when measured using a nanosecond Z-scan method. The largest effective two-photon absorption cross-section was observed for trisporphyrin as 2.7 × 105 GM at 760 nm, which was 10 times larger than that obtained for monoporphyrin. INT...

Porphyrin dimers bridged by an electrochemically switchable unit.

In the past decade much effort has been devoted to the synthesis and studies of molecular systems comprising porphyrin units bridged by well-defined p-conjugated spacers at the mesoor b-positions. These conjugated oligoporphyrin systems are expected to have potential applications in molecular wires and electronic devices due to their unique optical, physical, and chemical properties. Photophysi...

Re(I) bridged porphyrin dyads, triads and tetrads

Abstract. Porphyrin rings containing two meso-pyridyl groups either in cis or trans fashion can be used to construct Re(I) bridged multiporphyrin assemblies. The cis-dipyridyl porphyrins with various porphyrin cores such as N4, N3O, N3S, N2S2 have been used to react with Re(CO)5Cl in THF at refluxing temperature and constructed planar Re(I) bridged porphyrin dyads containing either one type of ...

2,5-Thienylene-bridged triangular and linear porphyrin trimers.

A cyano-bridged tubular coordination polymer with dominant ferromagnetic interactions.

It is a challenge to synthesize a porous tubular coordination polymer with magnetic properties. Utilizing [Fe(II)(bipy)(CN)4](2-) (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) as the building block to react with Mn(2+), we successfully synthesized a cyano-bridged tubular coordination polymer with dominant ferromagnetic interactions. The inner surface of the heterometallic tube is hydrophilic, whereas the outer surf...
