Abstract
Synthesis of tetrasubstituted-tetraferrocenylporphyrins containing an acetyl functional group on all ferrocenyl moiety has been performed, allowing the analysis of the effects of these groups in terms of geometry and electronic distribution. TFcPs exhibit interesting electrochemical properties, mostly due to electronic communication between the ferrocenyl substituents and the porphyrin core and the presence of four acetyl substituents do not affect significantly these properties. Nevertheless the functionalization leads to a more defined electronic transition, in particular in the Q region and a more stable TFcP in terms of chemical oxidation. This can openinig the way to modulate and/or improve the performance of TFcP in various applications.
