Six-coordinate zinc porphyrins for template-directed synthesis of spiro-fused nanorings.
Five-coordinate geometry is the standard binding mode of zinc porphyrins with pyridine ligands. Here we show that pseudo-octahedral six-coordinate zinc porphyrin complexes can also be formed in solution, by taking advantage of the chelate effect. UV-vis-NIR titrations indicate that the strength of t...
