Fullerenes are spontaneously attracted to porphyrins and metalloporphyrins. This new supramolecular recognition element was first discovered in cocrystallates of C60 and C70 with tetraarylporphyrins1-3 and octaethylmetalloporphyrins. 4, 5 A natural feature of these structures is the zigzag arrangement of porphyrins with fullerenes sandwiched in the clefts. It is reproduced in calculations, and the unexpectedly strong interaction between a curved π surface and a flat π surface (Cfullerene-to-porphyrin plane distance∼ 2.7 Å) is largely van der Waals in origin. 2With this knowledge we have used molecular modeling to design a jaw-like bis-porphyrin with a similar fullerene-sized bite. The palladium-linked m-pyridyl dimer shown in Figure 1 has a high calculated “gas phase” binding enthalpy for C60 (∼ 57 kcal ‚mol-1) suggestive of tight fullerene binding in solution. A “chelate” effect from bidentate complexation should also contribute. While this work was in progress, a doubly strapped bisporphyrin was reported to form a 1: 1 complex with C60. 6 Notably, the binding constant (7× 105 M-1) exceeds those of traditional concave hosts such as calixarenes, cyclotriveratralenes, and resorcarenes. 7
