Electrochemical and spectroscopic studies of poly(diethoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins

Abstract The synthesis and electrochemical characterization of two related series of porphyrins bearing diethoxyphosphoryl groups are reported. One group of compounds is represented as (T( p -R)PP)M where R = phos = P(O)(OEt) 2 and M = Zn(II) or H 2 while the other is represented as (di( p -R)Pdi(phos)P)M where R = P(O)(OEt) 2 , H or CH 3 and M = Zn(II) or H 2 . Each porphyrin was investigated by electrochemistry and thin-layer spectroelectrochemistry in CH 2 Cl 2 , CDCl 3 , CHCl 3 or PhCN containing tetra- n -butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) as supporting electrolyte. The highly electron-withdrawing P(O)(OEt) 2 groups lead to easier reductions and harder oxidations than the two comparison …

On the synthesis of functionalized porphyrins and porphyrin conjugates via β-aminoporphyrins

International audience; The synthesis of functionalized porphyrins and their conjugates from meso-tetraarylporphyrins through the acylation and the oxidation of beta-aminoporphyrins was investigated. 2,3-Dioxochlorins were prepared by the oxidation of a variety of beta-aminoporphyrins and subsequently used in a condensation reaction with functionalized aromatic aldehydes and ammonium acetate to form beta-functionalized porphyrins bearing a fused imidazole ring. Under optimized experimental conditions both reactions tolerate various functional groups and afford the products in an appropriate overall yield. The mildness and usefulness of this methodology are illustrated by several examples in…

Towards sensory Langmuir monolayers consisting of macrocyclic pentaaminoanthraquinone

A pentaazamacrocycle incorporating an intracyclic anthraquinone fragment (PENTAQ) was synthesized with the aim of forming metal-responsive Langmuir monolayers. PENTAQ allows a good discrimination by naked eye of copper ions in methanol–water solutions (50 : 50 v/v). Spectrophotometric investigations of the protonation and Cu2+ binding properties of PENTAQ were undertaken in order to gain a deeper insight into the pH-dependent speciation as well as the color changing process. PENTAQ monolayers at air/water and air/methanol–water interfaces were prepared according to the Langmuir procedure. The structure of the monolayers can be tuned by varying the pH of the aqueous subphase, since it was fo…

Post-synthetic methods for functionalization of imidazole-fused porphyrins

Several methods for the post-synthetic modification of imidazo[4,5-[Formula: see text]]porphyrins are reported. First, a synthetic approach to the isomeric difunctionalized porphyrins, containing two [Formula: see text]-fused 2-aryl-1[Formula: see text]-imidazole cycles at adjacent or opposite pyrrole rings of the macrocycle is developed. The core chemistry of this synthetic route is the transformation of 2-aryl-1[Formula: see text]-imidazo[4,5-[Formula: see text]]porphyrins into corresponding imidazodioxochlorins followed by Debus–Radziszewski condensation with aromatic aldehyde. Next, 2-(4-bromophenyl)-1[Formula: see text]-imidazo[4,5-[Formula: see text]]-5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrin…

Imidazoporphyrins as supramolecular tectons: synthesis and self-assembly of zinc 2-(4-pyridyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]porphyrinate

International audience; 5,10,15,20-Tetramesityl-2-(4-pyridyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]porphyrin (PyPor) bearing a pyridine donor site connected to the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle by a rigid imidazole linker was prepared in high yield by the condensation of the corresponding 2,3-dioxochlorin and 4-formylpyridine in the presence of ammonium acetate. After the insertion of a metal ion capable of metal–ligand axial coordination, namely Zn(II), this compound afforded self-complementary porphyrin PyPorZn which was suitable for self-assembly. In the crystals, this complex exists as a zigzag coordination polymer formed through the axial coordination of the pyridine nitrogen atom to the zinc ion of the neighb…

Coordination self-assembly through weak interactions in meso-dialkoxyphosphoryl-substituted zinc porphyrinates.

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.

Insights into the Synthesis and the Solution Behavior ofmeso-Aryloxy- and Alkoxy-Substituted Porphyrins

meso-RO-appended (R = alkyl, aryl) porphyrins bearing one or two OR substituents at the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle were synthesized in good yields from 5,15-dibromo-10,20-diphenylporphyrins 2H(Br2DPP), Ni(Br2DPP) and Zn(Br2DPP) using an SNAr reaction. By varying the solvent, the base, the temperature, and the time of the reaction, the optimum conditions were established, and the selective introduction of one or two meso-RO substituents at the periphery of the macrocycle was achieved. Moreover, monofunctionalization of Ni(Br2DPP) according to an SNAr reaction was used as a key step for the synthesis of rarely explored unsymmetrical porphyrinyl alkyl ethers. 1H NMR studies of these ethers in CD…

Insights into the crystal packing of phosphorylporphyrins based on the topology of their intermolecular interaction energies

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)).

Unusual Formation of a Stable 2D Copper Porphyrin Network

Copper(II) 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin was obtained and characterized by means of cyclic voltammetry, electron paramagnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, and UV-visible spectroscopy. Three crystalline forms were grown and studied by means of X-ray diffraction methods (single crystal and powder). The highly electron-withdrawing effect of phosphoryl groups attached directly to the porphyrin macrocycle results in a self-assembling process, with formation of a stable 2D coordination network, which is unusual for copper(II) porphyrins. The resulting 2D structure is a rare example of an assembly based on copper(II) porphyrins where the copper(II) central metal io…

Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies of β-phosphorylated Zn porphyrins
