Abstract

We adopted simple synthetic strategy to synthesize mono-functionalized thiasapphyrins containing functionalized aryl group in the meso-position at thiophene side. The thiasapphyrin building block containing iodophenyl functional group was coupled with three different porphyrin building blocks with N4, N3S and N2S2 cores containing meso-ethynylphenyl functional group under mild Pd(0) coupling conditions to synthesize three covalently linked diphenyl ethyne bridged porphyrin–thiasapphyrin dyads. The porphyrin–thiasapphyrin dyads were characterized by mass, NMR, absorption, electrochemical and fluorescence techniques. The NMR, absorption and electrochemical studies indicated that the two components in dyads interact weakly and retain their individual identities. The steady state fluorescence studies indicated that the porphyrin fluorescence is reduced to a significant extent because of energy and/or electron transfer to the thiasapphyrin unit. The protonation studies indicated that N4 porphyrin unit is more basic, whereas N3S and N2S2 porphyrin units are less basic compared to thiasapphyrin unit in respective dyads. We explored the potential of dyads as fluorescent anion sensors and showed that two out of three dyads can be used as fluorescent anion sensors.
