Abstract
The synthesis of the porphyrin-calix[4]arene conjugates was carried out using the Pd(0)-catalyzed amination of Zn(II) meso-(3-bromophenyl)porphyrinate with bis(3-aminopropoxy)substituted calix[4]arenes (in cone and 1,3-alternate conformations). One of the conjugates was demetalated to give free porphyrin base derivative. The investigation of the fluorescence of the conjugates was studied in the presence of 18 metal perchlorates. The zinc porphyrinate derivatives were found to quench fluorescence in the presence of Cu(II), Al(III) and Cr(III) cations as well as on protonation. Metal-free conjugate was shown to act as a molecular probe for Zn(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) cations due to strong and different changes of the emission caused by these metals.
