Abstract
(Matrix presented) A pyrrolic macrocycle, β -tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)porphycene, is the first example of a fluorine-containing porphycene. Four electron-withdrawing CF3 substituents provide a highly distorted structure and an attractive electron-deficient nature for the porphycene framework. From the electrochemical study, it is found that the LUMO energy level for the β-trifluoromethylporphycene is 1.24 V more stabilized compared to that for etioporphyrin. Moreover, the deprotonation of the inner N-H proton in the porphycene was observed upon the addition of DBU.
