A porphyrin derivative with conjugated peripheral chains has been synthesized by oxidative ring closure reaction, which can be used to form complexes with tunable near-infrared absorption.
A hexapyrrane P6with a terminal N-confused pyrrole was synthesized by acid-catalyzed [3+3] condensation followed by oxidation with DDQ, which did not afford the expected N-confused hexaphyrin. In stead, a rearranged product, i.e., alpha-dipyrrin appended N-confused porphyrin 1 was obtained in a yield of 46%. Chelation of 1 with Pt(II) afforded the peripheral complex 1-Pt, which was further coordinated with Rh(I) in the cavity to afford the corresponding bimetallic complex 1-Pt-Rh. Both 1-Pt and 1-Pt-Rh exhibit split Soret-like bands and noticeable Q-like bands tailing to the NIR region up to ca. 1200 nm. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of 1 and 1-Pt revealed that the peripheral coordination of Pt(II) slightly modifies the interplanar angle between the porphyrin macrocycle and the dipyrrin unit, which may modulate the absorption spectra. The results of this work compose an interesting example of synthesizing porphyrinoids appended with conjugated peripheral chains by the oxidative ring closure reaction of an oligopyrrane containing a terminal N-confused pyrrole, and such compounds may be used for both inner and peripheral coordination to afford complexes with tunable NIR absorption.
