Synthesis and characterization of new ferrocene, porphyrin and C60 triads, connected by triple bonds

• We report the synthesis and characterization of C60, ferrocene and porphyrin triads.
• The compounds are potentially useful for studying the electron-transfer processes.
• The three components of the triads are connected each other by triple bonds.

The 2,12 pyrrole positions of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin were functionalized through triple carbon–carbon bonds by ferrocene and C60 giving new electron donor-acceptor triads which have been characterized and studied by photophysical methods.

meso-Tetraphenylporphyrin has been functionalized in the 2,12-beta positions by ferrocene and C60 through triple carbon–carbon bonds giving new electron donor-acceptor triads which have been characterized and studied by photophysical methods.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
