N. Solladie et al., Pentaporphyrin with flexible, chiral nucleosidic linkers: unexpected duality of the physico-chemical properties of its core, CHEM COMMUN, (21), 2001, pp. 2206-2207
A new star-like pentaporphyrin, bearing nucleosidic linkers, has been synth
esized, and the unexpected duality of the physico-chemical properties of it
s core is reported; beside the quenching of the fluorescence of the periphe
ral porphyrins by the central chromophore, this pentaporphyrin exhibits an
unexpected shielding of the redox capabilities of its central core.
