A non-covalent assembly for electron transfer based on a calixarene–porphyrin conjugate: tweezers for a quinone
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a new supramolecular assembly, a calix[4]arene substituted Zn(II) metalloporphyrin 4 and benzoquinone 6, wherein photoinduced electron transfer through non-covalent interactions may be probed, is reported.
