Chelation effects in the binding of bidentate ligands by a face-to-face zinc porphyrin

Abstract
The face-to-face zinc porphyrin (2) is a selective host for 4,4′- bipyridyl as compared with the diamines H2N(CH2)nNH2. This selectivety arises from a much higher chelation factor (14M) for the bipyridyl guest as compared with the very low factors ( M) for the diamines. These results are discussed in terms of host and guest structures and compared with other host–guest systems.
