Porphyrin–Polyyne [3]- and [5]Rotaxanes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Porphyrin-polyyne [3]- and [5]rotaxanes have been synthesized by condensing aldehyde-rotaxanes with pyrrole or dipyrromethane. The crystal structure of a [3]rotaxane shows that the macrocycles adopt compact conformations, holding the hexaynes near the porphyrin core, and that the phenanthroline units form intermolecular π-stacked dimers in the solid. Fluorescence spectra reveal singlet excited-state energy transfer from the threaded hexayne to the porphyrin, from the phenanthroline to the porphyrin, and from the phenanthroline to the hexayne.

Polyyne Rotaxanes: Stabilization by Encapsulation
Active metal template Glaser coupling has been used to synthesize a series of rotaxanes consisting of a polyyne, with up to 24 contiguous sp-hybridized carbon atoms, threaded through a variety of macrocycles. Cadiot-Chodkiewicz cross-coupling affords higher yields of rotaxanes than homocoupling. This methodology has been used to prepare [3]rotaxanes with two polyyne chains locked through the sa...

We have used single-crystal X-ray diffraction and time-resolved UV-NIR-IR absorption spectroscopy to gain insights into the structures and excited-state dynamics of a rotaxane consisting of a hexayne chain threaded through a phenanthroline macrocycle and a family of related compounds, including the rhenium(I) chlorocarbonyl complex of this rotaxane. The hexayne unit in the rhenium-rotaxane is s...

We describe the synthesis of a series of interlocked structures from porphyrin-glycoluril cage compounds and bis(olefin)-terminated viologens by an olefin-metathesis protocol. The length of the chain connecting the olefin substituents with the viologen has a marked effect on the products of the ring-closure reaction. Long chains give [2]- and [3]catenane structures, whereas short chains give a ...
متن کامل[60]fullerene-stoppered porphyrinorotaxanes: pronounced elongation of charge-separated-state lifetimes.
A series of Sauvage-type porphyrinorotaxanes containing [60]fullerene stoppers have been synthesized by a convergent route. Photoinduced energy transfer and electron-transfer reactions in these rotaxanes yield long-distance charge-separated radical-pair states, whose lifetimes in solution at ambient temperatures are as high as 32 mus, depending on the distance between the fullerene and zinc por...

Two rotaxanes containing zinc porphyrin (ZnP) with crown ether and [60]fullerene (C(60)) with cationic and neutral axles are synthesized. Optimized structures calculated by molecular orbital methods indicate that the rotaxane with an ammonium cation in the center of the axle has a shorter distance between the C(60) and ZnP moieties than that of the rotaxane with a neutral axle because of acylat...
