Abstract: | A new series of mixed β-substituted dibenzoporphyrins were synthesized, and the effect of β-substitution on the spectral and electrochemical redox properties of the macrocycle was elucidated. The synthetic route to β-tetrasubstituted dibenzoporphyrins begins with the regioselective bromination of NiTPP(Benzo)2 to afford NiTPP(Benzo)2Br4, followed by Pd catalyzed coupling reaction to access NiTPP(Benzo)2(R)4 (R = phenyl (Ph) and phenylethynyl (PE)). Synthesized benzoporphyrins exhibited red-shifted absorption spectral features with tunable redox properties. These benzoporphyrins displayed pronounced electronic effects of β-substituents on the macrocyclic skeleton. NiTPP(Benzo)2(PE)4 exhibited the lowest HOMO–LUMO gap among the series due to extended π-conjugation. Intrestingly, metal-centered oxidation of Ni(II)/Ni(III) was observed for NiOPP(Benzo)2 and NiOPP(Benzo)Br2 after an initial conversion of the neutral porphyrin to its dicationic form under electrochemical conditions. |
