Self-Organization of Porphyrin-POM Dyads: Nonplanar Diacids and Oxoanions in Low-Dimensional H-Bonding Networks.

ABSTRACT: Coordinating the spatial arrangement of electroactive partners is crucial to designable molecular electronics and photonics. Porphyrins are ubiquitous reaction centers in nature; synthetic porphyrins, in the crystallographic solid state, are often coerced into monolithic stacks, inhibiting reactivity. Using the principles of self-organization, and by exploiting charge-balance principles, we can manipulate nonplanar porphyrins into one- and two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded polymers, with polyoxometalate (POM) and bifunctional counter-anions serving as linkers. Herein, we report 11 crystal structures as a systematic study of the interactions between dodecasubstituted porphyrin acids and nonstandard counterions, as well as the induced conformations in the porphyrin core. We can show that this
