Abstract

Abstract Zinc 31,131-dihydroxychlorin lacking an exo-five-membered E-ring was prepared as a model of natural bacteriochlorophyll-d possessing 31-OH and 13-C=O groups. The synthetic zinc complex has the 13-CH2OH instead of the 13-C=O and self-aggregated in a nonpolar organic solvent, giving slipped and π-overlapped molecular stackings (J-aggregates) with red-shifted and broadened electronic absorption bands. For the intermolecular interactions among the J-aggregates, coordination bonding of the 31-OH (not 131-OH) with the central Zn was utilized.
