Abstract

•Switch-on/off fluorescent molecules•Sensitive to zinc ions•High quantum yields in porphyrinoid systems.•Potential to use in cell imaging

New fluorescence switch-on meso-substituted free base meta-benziporphodimethenes were synthesized, characterized via acid catalyzed condensation reaction and metallated with Zn2 +. Their photophysical properties were also studied. The fluorescence spectra analysis demonstrates substituent's independent behaviour on emitting λmax. The average Stokes shift of 33 nm was observed. Crystal structure of 8 was obtained and gave expected perturbed geometry.
