Article Synopsis
- Unusual phenanthroporphyrins were synthesized using a stepwise method involving precursor porphyrins and a retro Diels-Alder reaction to create arylbenzoporphyrins (arylBPs).
- The synthesis included an intramolecular Scholl reaction, leading to the formation of these unique phenanthroporphyrins.
- X-ray crystallography showed a distorted, helical structure, and various analyses helped explain their optical properties, highlighting specific absorption wavelengths.
