Photo-induced Electron Transfer Reaction of Porphyrin Compounds

Organic Chemistry, Supramolecular Chemistry, Functional Molecular Chemistry

He has found a novel porphyrin isomer, N-confused porphyrin (NCP) and opened a new avenue to novel porphyrinoids.（J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1994）
A variety of NCP metal complexes, multiply confused, expanded, and contracted porphyrinoids, have been synthesized and characterized by the X ray single crystal analyses. (Chem. Commun. 2002) Especially, the multiply confused porphyrins have been shown to exhibit a self-assembly property for moleculer wires. （Supramol. Chem. 2003）
With the assist of "confusion approach" strategy,new synthetic method for porphyrinoids has been developed.
He has succeeded to synthesize doubly N-confused hexaphyrins that possessed two N3C compartments for the complexation of two metal ions in the cavity.
