Y. Amao et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF WATER-SOLUBLE VIOLOGEN LINKED ZINC PORPHYRINS, Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. A, Chemistry, 98(1-2), 1996, pp. 59-64
A series of water soluble viologen linked zinc porphyrins (ZnP(CnV)(4)
,n = 3-6) were synthesized. Four viologens are connected with the zinc
porphyrin via a methylene chain (-(CH2)(n)-: n = 3-6) in these compou
nds. The photochemical and electrochemical properties of ZnP(CnV)(4) w
ere measured and the quenching process of the photoexcited porphyrin b
y the binding viologen was discussed.
