Abstract

Synthetic models of the photosynthetic antenna complexes must achieve long-range 3- dimensional order encompassing a large number of porphyrinic pigments with limited direct contact of the pigments. In order to develop solid-state antenna complexes, we have synthesized porphyrins bearing benzyloxy groups projecting over both faces and optionally also around the periphery of the porphyrin. Routes have been established for ...
