Abstract
plot of the one-electron oxidation potentials versus N21 exhibits good linearity. The inter-cept (20.38 V) of the plot may be assigned for the one-electron oxidation potential of the “infinite ” fused porphyrin polymer. In spite of their remarkable properties, in-cluding extremely low HOMO-LUMO (highest occupied/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) gaps, low one-electron oxidation potentials, and rigid and giant molecular size, the triply linked arrays are stable in air and easily manipulated, and should prove useful for studies on the vi-bronic coupling of organic molecules. They may also find use as conducting molecular wires and in molecular-scale electronic devices. In addition, the unusual photophysical and elec-trochemical properties of these fused porphyrin arrays suggest potential avenues for further in-vestigation, including the development of near-IR and IR sensors and dyes, and materials for nonlinear optics and spin ordering.
