Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of β-meso directly linked porphyrin–corrole hybrid compounds

Abstract

The preparation of β-meso directly linked porphyrin–corrole hybrids was realized for the first time via an InCl3-catalyzed condensation reaction of 2-formyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrins with meso-substituted dipyrromethanes. Hybrid compounds have been characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 2D NMR, UV–vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy.
