Abstract
Self-assembly of predesigned angular and linear dipyridylporphyrin modules with bisphosphine-coordinated Pd(II) and Pt(II) angular and linear modules leads to cyclic porphyrin arrays containing two or four units and ranging in size from 15 to 39 Å. Multinuclear NMR spectra indicate high symmetry for these macrocycles. Restriction in rotation of trans-DPyDPP groups around the axis defined by the terminal metal−nitrogen bonds distorts the symmetry of the tetramers, but the rotation is unrestricted at elevated temperatures. Chiral metal triflates containing R(+)- or S(−)-BINAP phosphines promote formation of enantiomeric macrocycles with a puckered geometry. CD spectra of the chiral macrocycles reveal a strong exciton coupling between the porphyrin chromophores in the tetramers. Emission spectra reveal moderate fluorescence quenching of the dipyridylporphyrin fluorophores upon treatment with metal triflates and concomitant incorporation into the macrocycles.
