Abstract

Porphyrins have been recognized as promising leads for harvesting applications due to their strong absorption and ability for extended π-conjugation. There have been several porphyrin-based compounds that have been developed in the hopes of increasing the efficiency of these applications. For instance, thiophene derivatives have been studied with porphyrins due to their use as a π-linker, facile functionalization with both electron withdrawing and electron donating groups, and capability to redshift absorption spectra of the porphyrin. In this report, the synthesis, MALDI, and crystal structure of a new β-extended disubstituted-vinylthiophene-monobenzo-tetra(4-isopropylphenyl)porphyrin is discussed. Figure 1
