Electrochemical and Spectroelectrochemical Properties of Free-Base Pyridyl- and N -Alkyl-4-Pyridylporphyrins in Nonaqueous Media
2015
International audience; Twelve structurally related pyridyl and meso-N-methylpyridylporphyrin derivatives are investigated electrochemically in different nonaqueous media. The UV/Vis spectrum of each newly investigated porphyrin was measured before and after electro-reduction and, based on this data, the site of electron transfer is proposed. An interaction occurs between the meso-pyridyl or meso-N-alkyl-4-pyridyl substituents and the porphyrin p-ring system, the magnitude of which depends upon the number of linked pyridyl or N-alkyl-4-pyridyl groups in the compound, the solvent, the supporting electrolyte, and/or other anions added to the solution.
New BODIPY derivatives with triarylamine and truxene substituents as donors for organic bulk heterojunction photovoltaic cells
2021
Abstract We have designed two new BODIPY derivatives, denoted as 6a and 6b, substituted with truxene moiety and triphenylamine (TPA) unit groups and have investigated their optical and electrochemical properties. Dyes 6a and 6b were employed as donor along with PC71BM or Y6 as acceptor for the fabrication of binary and ternary organic solar cells. After optimization of the binary and ternary active layers, we have achieved over all power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.37 % and 13.32% for 6a:PC71BM:Y6 and 6b:PC71BM:Y6 ternary organic solar cells, respectively, which are higher than the binary organic solar cells based on PC71BM or Y6 acceptor. The higher power conversion efficiency for te…
The Difficult Marriage of Triarylcorroles with Zinc and Nickel Ions.
2022
The coordination chemistry of corrole has witnessed a great improvement in the past few years and its Periodic Table has been widened to be so large that it is compared with that of porphyrins. However, Ni and Zn ions, commonly used with porphyrins for both synthetic and theoretical purposes, are sparsely reported in the case of corroles. Here, we report synthetic protocols for preparing Ni and Zn triarylcorrole complexes. In the case of Zn, the preliminary oxidation of the free base corrole in DMSO to the neutral corrole radical is a necessary step to obtain the coordination of the metal ion, because the direct reaction led to the formation of an open-chain tetrapyrrole. The Ni complex cou…
Non-linear optical, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties of amphiphilic inner salt porphyrinic systems
2016
Three zwitterionic meso-substituted A3B- and AB2C-porphyrins containing one sulfonato alkylpyridinium substituent and three or two alkoxy-substituted phenyl groups were synthesized in good yield and fully characterized as to their physicochemical properties by a variety of techniques. This new series of inner salt donor-acceptor meso-substituted porphyrin derivatives were prepared for possible application as amphiphilic probes for membrane insertion in the area of combined second-harmonic and two-photon fluorescence cellular microscopy. To this end, the linear and nonlinear optical properties of the compounds were characterized, together with their electrochemical and spectroelectrochemica…
Tuning the Electrochemistry of Free-Base Porphyrins in Acidic Nonaqueous Media: Influence of Solvent, Supporting Electrolyte, and Ring Substituents
2016
International audience; A detailed study of reduction potentials, electroreduction mechanisms and acid-base chemistry was carried out on two series of free-base porphyrins in nonaqueous media. The first series is represented by four-pyrrole substituted tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) derivatives, two of which are planar and two of which are nonplanar in their non-protonated form. The second comprises porphyrins with 0-4 meso-phenyl groups on the macrocycle. Equilibrium constants for conversion of each neutral porphyrin to its diprotic [H4P] 2+ form were determined and the electrochemistry was then elucidated as a function of: (i) type of nonaqueous solvent, (ii) anion of supporting electrolyte, …

Coordination self-assembly through weak interactions in meso-dialkoxyphosphoryl-substituted zinc porphyrinates.
2019
International audience; The self-assembly of seven zinc 10-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)-5,15-diarylporphyrinates Zn5-Zn11 containing different substituents at the phosphonate and aryl groups was investigated. Single crystals of Zn5-Zn9 complexes were grown under the same conditions and analyzed by X-ray structural analysis. A supramolecular self-assembly is observed in all crystals through weak coordinative bonding of the phosphoryl group of one porphyrin molecule to the zinc(II) ion of a second porphyrin molecule. The geometry of the porphyrin macrocycle is similar in all of the studied crystals and the central zinc atom in each case adopts a distorted tetragonal pyramidal environment. However, th…
Protonation and Electrochemical Properties of Pyridyl- and Sulfonatophenyl-Substituted Porphyrins in Nonaqueous Media
2017
International audience; The protonation and electrochemical properties of positively charged and negatively charged porphyrins are reported in up to five different nonaqueous solvents. The positively charged porphyrins are represented by mono- and di-pyridyl derivatives having the formula Pyx(PhMe)4-xPM, where P=the dianion of the porphyrin macrocycle, PhMe is a meso-tolyl group, Py a meso-pyridyl group, x=1 or 2, and M=H2, NiII, CuII, ZnII, or CoII. The negatively charged porphyrins are comprised of meso-tetrasulfonato derivatives having the formula [(R)4(TPPS)H2]4−(X+)4, where [(TPPS)H2]4− represents the porphyrin with four SO3− groups on the meso-phenyl substituents of the macrocycle, R=…
Insights into the crystal packing of phosphorylporphyrins based on the topology of their intermolecular interaction energies
2014
Four metal complexes of 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin 1M (M = Cd(II), Ni(II), Pd(II), and Pt(II)) were synthesized and crystallographically characterized. The crystal organization patterns were analyzed using DFT (B97-D3/def2-SVP) calculations of the intermolecular interaction energies between complexes in the crystals. For the systematic analysis of crystal packing, the calculations were extended to previously reported compounds 1M (M = H2, Cu(II), and Zn(II)). Quantitative analysis of the interaction energies shows the essential role of weak intermolecular interactions, such as C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π and M⋯π, in the formation of basic structural motifs and their organization …
Synthesis and Characterization of Carbazole-Linked Porphyrin Tweezers
2015
Herein the synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, two-photon absorption and electrochemical properties of 3,6-disubstituted carbazole tweezers is reported. A dimer resulting from a Glaser homocoupling was isolated during a Sonogashira coupling reaction between a diethynyl-carbazole spacer and a 5-bromo-triarylporphyrin and the properties of this original compound were compared with the 3,6-disubstituted carbazole bisporphyrin tweezers. The dyads reported herein present a two-photon absorption maximum at 920 nm with two-photon absorption cross-section in the 1200 GM range. Despite a strong linear absorption in the Soret region and moderate fluorescence quantum yield, they both lead to a …

Two series of diphosphoryl-substituted porphyrins were synthesized and characterized by electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry in nonaqueous media containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP). The investigated compounds are 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrins (Ph)2(P(O)(OEt)2)2PorM and 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-di(para-carbomethoxyphenyl)porphyrins (PhCOOMe)2(P(O)(OEt)2)2PorM where M = 2H, Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), or Pd(II). The free-base and five metalated porphyrins with nonredox active centers undergo two ring-centered oxidations and two ring-centered reductions, the latter of which is followed by a chemical reaction of the por…
Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies of β-phosphorylated Zn porphyrins
2013
The electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties of two β-phosphorylated Zn porphyrins, [2-diethoxyphosphoryl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato]zinc (1) and [2-diisopropoxyphosphoryl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato]zinc (2), are reported in CH 2 Cl 2 and PhCN containing tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) or tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) as supporting electrolyte. Under certain solution conditions, three one-electron reductions are observed, with the last process being attributed to the product of a chemical reaction following formation of the porphyrin dianion. Two or three oxidations are observed for the same compounds, again depending upon the solution c…
Redox properties of nitrophenylporphyrins and electrosynthesis of nitrophenyl-linked Zn porphyrin dimers or arrays
2014
Five nitrophenylporphyrins were investigated as to their electrochemical properties in CH 2 Cl 2 containing 0.1 M TBAP. The investigated compounds are represented as ( NO 2 Ph )x Ph 4-x PorM , where Por represents the dianion of the porphyrin macrocycle, Ph is a phenyl group on meso-position of the macrocycle, NO 2 Ph is a meso-substituted nitrophenyl group, M = 2 H , Pd II or Zn II and x = 1 or 2. Each porphyrin undergoes an initial one electron reduction at E1/2 = -1.07 to -1.12 V where the added negative charge is almost totally localized on the meso-nitrophenyl group of the compound. This reversible reduction is then followed by one or more irreversible reductions of the nitrophenyl an…
