Core expanded, 21,23-dithiadiacenaphtho[1,2-c]porphyrin interactions with [60]fullerene†
Abstract
Here, aromatic core expansion of 21,23-dithiaporphyrins is undertaken through ring fusion of acenaphthyl groups, resulting in a curved structure. The curved pi-system exhibited low energy absorption bands (>1000 nm) and demonstrated an interaction with [60]fullerene.
