Abstract

The preparation of a new zinc(II) metalloporphyrin, substituted with four alkylated carbazole moieties, by reaction of pyrrole and 3-formyl-9-hexylcarbazole is reported. The substitution pattern negatively shifts the redox potentials of the macrocycle and leads to a material that emits green light at 615 nm when photo-excited at 554 nm.
