Synthesis and Properties of Acetylene-bridged N-Confused Porphyrin Dimers
Acetylene-bridged N-confused porphyrin (NCP) dimers were synthesized by Stille coupling reactions. Moderate electronic interaction between the NCP chromophores was observed in the inner-3H tautomers while strong interaction was observed in the inner-2H tautomers.
