Porphyrin-peptoid conjugates: face-to-face display of porphyrins on peptoid helices

Org Lett. 2013 Apr 5;15(7):1670-3. doi: 10.1021/ol4004564. Epub 2013 Mar 8.

Abstract

Distance, orientation, and number controlled porphyrin-peptoid conjugates (PPCs) were efficiently synthesized. Cofacial (1, 2, and 4), slipped-cofacial (3), and unstructured (5) arrangements of porphyrins provided distinct optical and electronic properties characterized by UV-vis and circular dichroism spectroscopy. In addition, ECCD spectra confirmed the handedness of peptoid helices.
