Enhancement of Two-Photon Absorption Cross-Section and Singlet-Oxygen Generation in Porphyrins upon β-Functionalization with Donor−Acceptor Substituents

The microwave-enhanced synthesis, comparative singlet oxygen sensitization efficiency, and nonlinear optical characterization of a new β-functionalized porphyrin and its copper complex are described. We show that the introduction of a donor−acceptor push−pull conjugated fragment in the β position st...

Zusammenfassung:The microwave-enhanced synthesis, comparative singlet oxygen sensitization efficiency, and nonlinear optical characterization of a new β-functionalized porphyrin and its copper complex are described. We show that the introduction of a donor−acceptor push−pull conjugated fragment in the β position strongly perturbs the porphyrin electronic structure leading to a remarkable one- and two-photon NIR absorption enhancement.
