Abstract
The novel covalent conjugates 1 and 2 of porphyrins and tetraaza macrotricy cles have been prepared. The compounds dissolve freely in aqueous buffer at neutral pH and bind nucleotides with good affinity,but insignificant selec tivity. Heterodimer formation with porphyrin carboxylic anions was detected in the gas phase corroborating the prediction of force-field calculations (C) 1994 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
