Porphyrin network solids: examples of supramolecular isomerism, noncentrosymmetric architectures and competing solvation

Self-assembly of iron TCPP (meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin) into a chiral 2D coordination polymer

“…The as-done DFT calculations (B3LYP / 6-31G) were carried out by using the GAUSSIAN 03 software [38]. The results ( Finally, it must be pointed out that this is the third example [24] [51] of a 2D coordination compound based on TCPP in which the dimensionality refers just to coordination bonds, and no other ligands are present in the structure.…”

“…For example, 2D porphyrin frameworks have been reported exhibiting square grid structure sustained by characteristic π-π stacking interactions and multiple hydrogen bonds [20][21][22][23]. Similarly, a 2D complex with Mn II [24] must be cited as the dimensionality is based on coordination bonds. Additionally, the combination of TCPP with other components gives rise to a variety of 2D and 3D structures [25].…”

62 Porphyrin-Based Tectons in Molecular Tectonics

“…Two supramolecular isomers exhibiting the same connectivity between porphyrin units were also reported for H 2 (PCOOH) 4 Po. 127,128 In these cases, the void spaces are partly filled by double interweaving of the multiporphyrin layers.…”

“…In this context, porphyrin-based tectons have been extensively explored and covered over the last decade in numerous reviews. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The organization of this section describing the formation of coordination networks is based on the number of tectons (from one to three) involved in the final architecture. We consider as tectons metalated or unmetalated porphyrins, external metallic centers or external organic ligands.…”

“…Furthermore, since the chapters by Suslick and coworkers 1 in the Porphyrin Handbook already covered systems published prior to 1999, this chapter shall only analyze the 2000-onward period. It is worth mentioning that several review articles by Suslick and coworkers, [2][3][4] Goldberg et al, [5][6][7][8][9] Drain et al, 10 Guilard and coworkers, 11 Satake and Kobuke, 12 Harvey 13 and Gunter 14 have appeared since the year 2000. …”
