Abstract

We present the synthesis and characterization of a new family of expanded meso-alkylidenyl (2,6-pyri)porphyrinoids bearing multiple exocyclic double bonds at the meso-positions. The synthesis was accomplished by using mixed pyrrole condensation. Similar to meso-alkylidenyl porphyrinoids, this study revealed that pyriporphyrinoids do not possess a porphyrin-like, global-aromatic character. The synthesized 2,6-pyripentaphyrin 1 displays selective ratiometric sensing of pyrophosphate anion in organic solvent.
