Abstract:
1. A method for synthesizing a metal (M) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin polymer, the method comprising: providing a free-base (H in response to a reaction with a metal (M)-containing material, converting the H converting the M-tetra-C≡C-TriAS-TPP to a M-tetra-4-ethynylphenylporphyrin (M-tetra-C≡C-TPP) monomer by removing the trialkylsilyl (TriAS) moiety from the ethynyl termini; and, coupling a plurality of M-tetra-C≡C-TPP monomers to supply a metal (M)-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin polymer (M-poly-meso-TPP), whereby meso-phenyl groups of adjacent M-tetra-C≡C-TPP monomers in the M-poly-meso-TPP are connected through a butadiyne linking moiety.
