Abstract
A new water-soluble porphyrin, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-piperidyl)porphyrin (T(4-Pip)P), has been synthesized. T(4-Pip)P is related to the extensively studied water-soluble porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (T(4-Py)P) but has substituents with different electronic and hydrogen-bonding properties and is soluble over a much larger pH range due to the higher pKa of its conjugate acid T(4-H-Pip)P4+. Investigations of the ionic self-assembly reactions of T(4-H-Pip)P4+ with anionic water-soluble porphyrins reveal that it forms nanoscale materials.
