Sq. Liu et al., Synthesis and characterization of a series of cationic porphyrins having different steric effects, SYN COMMUN, 30(11), 2000, pp. 2009-2017
A series of cationic porphyrins having only different steric effects and th
eir cobalt complexes were synthesized. The cations of these porphyrins are
meso-tetrakis(4-N-propylpyridyl)porphyrin (TPPyP4+), meso-tetrakis(4-N-ethy
lpyridyl)porphyrin (TEPyP4+) and meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin
(TMPyP4+), respectively. The anions are I- (water soluble porphyrins) and C
lO4- (organic solvent soluble porphyrins), respectively. The synthetic cati
onic porphyrins were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-visible absorp
tion spectra, FTIR, MALDI-TOF-MS and H-1-NMR spectra.
