meso-Phenyl- and meso-pentafluorophenyl-porpholactones, their metal complexes, as well as porphyrinoids directly derived from them are useful in a number of technical and biomedical applications, and more uses are expected to be discovered. About a dozen competing and complementary pathways toward their synthesis were reported. The suitability of the methods changes with the meso-aryl group and whether the free base or metal derivatives are sought. These circumstances make it hard for anyone outside of the field of synthetic porphyrin chemistry to ascertain which pathway is the best to produce which specific derivative. We report here on what we experimentally evaluated to be the most efficient pathways to generate the six key compounds from the commercially available porphyrins, meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (TFPP): free base meso-tetraphenylporpholactone (TPL) and meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porpholactone (TFPL), and their platinum(II) and zinc(II) complexes TPLPt, TFPLPt, TPLZn, and TFPLZn, respectively. Detailed procedures are provided to make these intriguing molecules more readily available for their further study.

The known optical high pH sensing chromophores, free base and metal complexes (M = 2H, Zn(ii), Pt(ii)) of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porpholactone, and the as yet untested Ga(iii) complex, were made freely water-soluble by derivatization at the aryl group with PEG chains.

Porphyrins bearing p-X-phenyl substituents (X=Me, OH, OTs , NMe2, NO2) at the 5,15-meso-positions have been synthesized. meso-Formylation of the nickel derivatives produced the derivatives (4), (12), (17) and (23) which show atypical broadened Soret and Q-band absorptions, the latter at 570-750 nm. The optical and n.m.r. spectra of the corresponding free base monoformyl derivatives also indicate electronic perturbations of the porphyrin rr -system. Wittig reactions with ( methoxycarbonylmethylene ) triphenylphosphorane, followed by demetallation, resulted in the meso-acrylate porphyrins (8), (14), (19) and (25), which also exhibit unusual electronic spectra consistent with a distortion of the macrocyclic ring current. The p-dimethylaminophenyl derivative (14) also shows protonation-dependent spectra indicating a quinomethene structure. The meso-acrylate porphyrins were efficiently converted into type A purpurins under basic conditions. Type B purpurins were also formed, and the relative yields of types A and B are temperature and solvent dependent, but independent of the presence of oxygen. These results are in contrast to those for the formation of octaethylpurpurin derivatives; likewise, no evidence of a purpurin - porphyrin equilibrium was observed for these compounds. In the presence of oxygen and strong visible light the meso-formyl-2- ( methoxyoxalyl ) chlorins are formed. The electronic spectra of the purpurins are typified by strong absorptions in the red region of the spectrum; the p- dimethylaminophenyl derivative (27) also exhibits a solvent-dependent spectrum, which is explained in terms of a dimethylaminoquinomethene tautomerism. The purpurins and porphyrin derivatives have potential application in photodynamic cancer therapy.

Macrocyclic ring systems in polymer phases described in this overview are part of the field of macromolecular metal complexes. In this review, first, examples of porphyrins in protein environments being active in biological systems are given. These biological sites are essential to understand the functions of artificial systems. Then a classification and examples of synthetic macromolecular metal complexes based on porphyrins, phthalocyanines and related systems are described.
