The effect of π-conjugation in the macrocyclic ring on the photophysical properties of a series of thiaaceneporphyrinoids†
Abstract
In a series of thiaaceneporphyrinoids, their conformers exhibit macrocyclic π-conjugation pathways controlled by a dihedral angle between the porphyrin framework and acene planes. Conformational equilibria significantly affect the photophysical properties of these macrocycles.
