Abstract
dc:description"A new family of tetraarylporphyrins has been synthesized. The key distinguishing feature of these porphyrins is the presence of carboxylic functionality at the eight meta-phenyl positions of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP). The base porphyrin is called 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3$\sp\prime,5\sp\prime$-dicarboxyphenyl)porphyrin (H$\sb2$DCarPP). The octa-meta-phenyl substitution pattern allows substituents at the meta positions to direct out and away from the molecular center in three dimensions. These outward-directed alkyl groups created pockets above and below the porphine plane. The ""bis-pocket"" shape is the critical design feature that gives this family of porphyrins novel and exciting properties."
