Synthesis and photophysical properties of porphyrin-containing polymers

The Implication of 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition of Azomethine Ylides to the Synthesis of Main‐Chain Porphyrin Oligomers

“…750 a.u. ), even oligomers with the degree of polymerization less than 10, are often referred to as polymers . As this high‐molecular compounds often possess poorer solubility than the corresponding monomers, incorporation of a porphyrin fragment into a polymer chain allows porphyrin to be immobilized on a specific surface (e.g., electrode) while retaining its electrochemical and optical properties.…”

“…Porphyrins have been incorporated in polymers as pendant groups, as a framework of linear or branched covalent polymers, as a core or a backbone of dendrimers, as a backbone of an extended network and as a backbone in supramolecular polymeric ensembles …”

Effects of the Addition ofOrtho- andPara-NH2Substituted Tetraphenylporphyrins on the Structure of Nylon 66

“…However, the development of pertinent methods for preserving the physicochemical and luminescent properties of porphyrins trapped or fixed within polymer networks has been scarcely explored during the past decades [30][31][32]. In view of the transcendental role played by tetrapyrrole macrocycles in nature and because of the properties inherent in their synthetic analogues, during the last decade an increased interest has aroused for the synthesis of new materials based on the use of these compounds [4,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. At this concern, new polymeric systems were synthesized; the important point being that porphyrins could be trapped, fixed as a ramification, or inserted as part of the polymeric chain.…”

“…At this concern, new polymeric systems were synthesized; the important point being that porphyrins could be trapped, fixed as a ramification, or inserted as part of the polymeric chain. The materials so obtained showed interesting physicochemical properties suitable to be used in technological areas and devices such as catalysis [4,37,38], electrocatalysis [31,32], solar cells [4,39,40], electronics [4,41], optics [4,42,43], permeable membranes [44], medical appliances [45,46], and sensors [47][48][49].…”

“Click”-reaction: An alternative tool for new architectures of porphyrin based derivatives

“…This reaction has been applied in many tetrapyrrolic entities such as porphyrins [55], phthalocyanines [55] and more recently corroles [56,57]. Concerning the applications of click-made porphyrins many studies have been made on photodynamic therapy (PDT) [58][59][60][61], polymers [62][63][64][65], self-assembly [66][67][68], biochemistry [69][70][71][72] and materials chemistry [73][74][75][76]. The scope of this work is to present click reactions that are carried out on porphyrin compounds.…”
