Abstract
The availability of multiporphyrin arrays with defined architectures and good solubility in organic solvents is essential for a wide variety of physical studies. Herein the synthesis of linear multiporphyrin arrays (triads, tetrad, pentad) bearing solubilizing 7-tridecyl (swallowtail) groups is presented. The rodlike arrays are composed of zinc porphyrins at the termini and 1, 2, or 3 free base porphyrins at the core. The free base porphyrins in the tetrad and pentad are joined to each other via p-phenylene linkers whereas the zinc porphyrins in each array are attached to the core free base porphyrins via 1,4-diphenylethyne linkers. The arrays are designed for studies of interporphyrin electronic communication.Keywords
