The first porphyrin–subphthalocyaninatoboron(iii)-fused hybrid with unique conformation and intramolecular charge transfer behavior

Abstract

Porphyrin and subphthalocyaninatoboron(III) chromophores have been fused through a quinoxaline moiety, resulting in the first porphyrin–subphthalocyaninatoboron(III)-fused hybrid with intramolecular charge transfer from tetrapyrrole/tripyrrole chromophores to the quinoxaline moiety. The unique plane-bowl molecular structure of this hybrid was revealed based on single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis for the first time.
