Patent ID: 11117911

Abstract:
High-potential photo-oxidants are provided with a supermolecule structure at least including a conjugated macrocycle linked to a metal complex. The conjugated macrocycle is electron-accepting relative to hydrogen or bears electron withdrawing substituents such as fluoroalkyl, fluoroaryl, fluoro, halo, cyano, or nitro. The metal complex is also electron-accepting relative to hydrogen or bears electron withdrawing substituents such as fluoroalkyl, fluoroaryl, fluoro, halo, cyano, or nitro. The linker can be thynyl, vinyl, thiophenyl, diethynylaryl, divinylaryl, diethynyl(unsaturated heterocycloalkenyl), divinyl(unsaturated heterocycloalkenyl), diethynyl(unsaturated heterocycloalkynyl), or divynyl(unsaturated heterocycloalkynyl). A specific implementation is an ethyne-bridged eDef-Rutpy-(porphinato)Zn(II) (eDef-RuPZn) supermolecule.
