Structural Control and Functionalization of Giant Porphyrin Arrays

作为一种有效的合成方法，钯催化的溴代芳烃与硼卟啉的Suzuki-Miyaura反应已被用于各种功能性卟啉低聚物的构建。这种方法的应用已被证明是非常强大的，以创建新类型的卟啉阵列，它有自己的有趣的结构和性能。在此基础上，我们制备了双噻吩-卟啉杂化纳米环、2，6-吡啶亚基桥联的β-to-β卟啉纳米环以及一系列直接meso-β双键连接的卟啉环。

As an effective synthetic protocol, Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction between arylbromide and boryl-porphyrin was explored, which has been used for the construction of various functional oligomeric porphyrinoids. The application of such methodologies has proven to be very powerful to create new types of porphyrin arrays, which have their own intriguing structures and properties. On the basis of this strategy, we have prepared bithiophene-porphyrin hybrid nanorings, 2,6-pyridylene-bridged β-to-β porphyrin nanorings, and a series of directly meso-β doubly linked porphyrin rings.
