The coordination of bismuth by porphyrins

摘要

The coordination chemistry of porphyrins towards the complexation of bimuth(III) has been investigated.Although the insertion of bismuth is tedious in porphyrins such as octa-ethyl porphyrin (OEP) or tetra-tolyl porphyrin (TTP),we have demonstrated that simple modifications of the ligand,like the grafting of arms bearing either ester groups or acid functions,lead to stable complexes,resulting from a rapid complexation reaction.
