Synthesis of a novel bis-Mg-porphyrin tweezer

• We have synthesised a novel semi-rigid bis-(magnesium-porphyrin) tweezer with a glycoluril backbone. meso-Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin constitutes the two porphyrin units, each holding a magnesium(II) ion, and being connected to the glycoluril backbone via two -positions. This connection prevents any porphyrin rotation, leaving changes in gap size as sole conformational variation. Magnesium(II) tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin has in previous studies shown to bind well to both nitrogen-containing and oxygen-containing functional groups. The tweezer has the potential to retain this binding ability, which would be useful in the stereochemical characterization of small flexible molecules with multiple stereocentra and a wide variety of functional groups.
