Abstract

Molecules of azaporphyrins combine two acidic pyrrole-type NH groups and several basic centres—two internal pyrrolenine nitrogen atoms and from one to four meso-nitrogen atoms—in one highly conjugated aromatic system. The acid–base properties of such unique multicentre ampholites have been the subject of numerous studies and discussions. Along with a short critical historical review the paper presents the latest results of a systematic investigation of the influence of successive aza substitution on the spectral properties and thermodynamic stability of the acid–base forms of azaporphyrins.
