Synthesis and Characterization of a New Perhalogenated Porphyrin

Description: The first synthesis of an octahalotetraalkylporphyrin [2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18 -octabromo-5,10,15,20- tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)porphinato nickel(II)] is reported; this perhalogenated porphyrin has several novel properties including a very nonplanar ruffled structure with an unusually short Ni- N distance, an extremely red-shifted optical spectrum, and hindered rotation of the trifluoromethyl groups ({Delta}G<sub>278K</sub> =47 kJ mol<sup>-1</sup>).

Novel Dodecaarylporphyrins: Synthesis and Variable Temperature NMR Studies

Description: An investigation of the synthesis of novel dodecaarylporphyrins using the Suzuki coupling reaction of arylboronic acids with octabromotetraarylporphyrins is reported. Studies of the dynamic properties of these new porphyrins using variable temperature (VT) <SUP>1</SUP>H NMR spectroscopy and molecular mechanics provide interesting insights into their dynamic properties, including the first determination of {beta} aryl rotation in a porphyrin system.
