Abstract

Different clip-shaped receptor molecules functionalized at one side-wall with a porphyrin unit have been synthesized by a condensation involving a diamino glucoluril derivative and a porphyrin dione. A similar condensation reaction with a porphyrin tetraone resulted in porphyrin molecule with two receptor sites. The binding and photophysical properties of some of these porphyrin-receptor molecules are described.
