Laterally-extended porphyrin systems incorporating a switchable unit

p-Quinone units incorporated into the central portion of rigid pi-systems linking either two porphyrin macrocycles or a porphyrin and a phenanthroline group have the potential to function as a chemically and electrochemically controllable switch, thus acting as a means of modulating electronic commu...

Description
Summary:p-Quinone units incorporated into the central portion of rigid pi-systems linking either two porphyrin macrocycles or a porphyrin and a phenanthroline group have the potential to function as a chemically and electrochemically controllable switch, thus acting as a means of modulating electronic communication between the two end groups.
