Description

Sub-micrometer long butadiyne-linked porphyrin wires were synthesized by oxidative coupling of diethynylporphyrin. The porphyrin wires were analyzed by analytical gel permeation chromatography, absorption spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectroscopy. Observations of the wire were performed by atomic force microscopy. Self-assembled structures of the wires were observed on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Self-assembling features of the porphyrin wires depended on the length of the porphyrin wires and the concentration of the depositing solution
