Serendipitous Discovery of Conjugated Dipyrromethene-Linked Nitronaphthoporphyrins.

Published in: The Journal of organic chemistry (2024)

Acid-catalyzed condensation of a nitronaphthalene-fused dipyrrylmethane with dipyrrylmethane dialdehydes afforded unique dipyrromethene-naphthoporphyrin conjugates together with expected nitronaphthoporphyrins. The unusual conjugated system retained aromatic porphyrin-type characteristics but afforded highly modified UV-vis spectra with multiple absorptions throughout the visible region.
