摘要

Single, double, triple, and quadruple installations of directly-fused hemiporphycenes at the periphery of NiII porphyrin were accomplished by a concise synthetic protocol consisting of (1) appending of 2-pyrryl group(s) at the β-position(s) of NiII porphyrin, (2) Friedel-Crafts type electrophilic substitution reaction with α,α′-dibromotripyrrin, and (3) subsequent Pd or Ni-catalyzed intramolecular Heck cyclization. Importantly, this protocol provides a single product regioselectively. Demetallation of the NiII complexes under acidic conditions furnished the corresponding free base compounds, which were efficiently converted to the corresponding ZnII complexes. Hemiporphycene-fused porphyrins show distorted structures and panchromatic absorption spectra with red-shifted and enhanced Q-bands, which become more manifest with an increasing number of the fused hemiporphycenes. These fused porphyrinoids are also promising as a multi-electron reservoir, as evinced by multiple reversible redox waves, typically as many as eleven for 3Ni and 4Ni.
