Ground and excited state dynamics of core-modified normal and expanded porphyrins

Ground and excited state dynamics of core-modified normal and expanded porphyrins
Ground and excited state dynamics of core-modified normal and expanded porphyrins

Singlet and triplet excited state data on two new core-modified expanded porphyrins and their protonated derivatives are reported. Absorption spectral studies indicate a gradual red shift of the absorption bands upon sulfur substitution into the core. The singlet lifetimes for expanded S3-sapphyrin and S4-rubyrin decrease steadily relative to STPPH and S2TPP owing to a higher rate of intersystem crossing. Furthermore, the protonated derivatives of S3-sapphyrin and S4-rubyrin encapsulate fluoride ions into their cavities with binding constants of 807 and 48 M-1 respectively. However, the triplet lifetime for S3-sapphyrin is longer (58.80 μs) than for normal thiaporphyrins (STPPH, 37.45 μs; S2TPP, 20.96 μs), suggesting that it could be very well suited for photosensitizing triplet oxygen.

Abstract

Singlet and triplet excited state data on two new core-modified expanded porphyrins and their protonated derivatives are reported. Absorption spectral studies indicate a gradual red shift of the absorption bands upon sulfur substitution into the core. The singlet lifetimes for expanded S3-sapphyrin and S4-rubyrin decrease steadily relative to STPPH and S2TPP owing to a higher rate of intersystem crossing. Furthermore, the protonated derivatives of S3-sapphyrin and S4-rubyrin encapsulate fluoride ions into their cavities with binding constants of 807 and 48 M-1 respectively. However, the triplet lifetime for S3-sapphyrin is longer (58.80 μs) than for normal thiaporphyrins (STPPH, 37.45 μs; S2TPP, 20.96 μs), suggesting that it could be very well suited for photosensitizing triplet oxygen.
