Abstract

Novel complexes have been efficiently synthesized with a facile route using two different atropisomers of the same porphyrin. These compounds feature a tridentate binding site, a tyrosine molecule, and a proximal base, all bound to the porphyrin ring in different fashions, making them attractive for heme modeling purposes.
