Control of the conformational dynamics of meso-meso vinylene-bridged Zn(II) porphyrin dimers through diamine coordination

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Mar 21;50(23):3078-80. doi: 10.1039/c4cc00126e.

Abstract

Two meso-meso vinylene-bridged Zn(II) porphyrin dimers and were analyzed in terms of the control of their conformational dynamics induced by the rotation around the double bond bridge. The dihedral angles between the two porphyrin rings were modulated through coordination with α,ω-diaminoalkanes of varying chain lengths.
