A Synthetic Strategy for Cofacial Porphyrin-Based Homo- and Heterobimetallic Complexes.

ABSTRACT: We present a straightforward and generally applicable synthesis route for cofacially linked homo- and heterobimetallic porphyrin complexes. The protocol allows the synthesis of unsymmetrical aryl-based meso-meso as well as β-meso-linked porphyrins. Our method significantly increases the overall yield for the published compound known as o-phenylene-bisporphyrin (OBBP) by a factor of 6.8. Besides the synthesis of 16 novel homobimetallic complexes containing Mn^III , Fe^III , Ni^II , Cu^II , Zn^II , and Pd^II , we achieved the first single-crystal X-ray structure of an unsymmetrical cofacial benzene-linked porphyrin dimer containing both planar-chiral enantiomers of a Ni^II ₂ complex. Additionally, this new metho
