A method is presented for coupling meso-phenylporphyrins bearing a single p
entafluorophenyl ring to thiol substituted molecules. Mild reaction conditi
ons are conducive to the employment of a wide range of thiols including bio
logically active moieties. Both diphenyl- and tetraphenylporphyrins bearing
a variety of different substituents on the non-fluorinated rings have been
used to demonstrate the wide applicability of the method. (C) 1999 Elsevie
