Porphyrazines, or tetraazaporphyrins, are tetrapyrrole macrocycles similar to porphyrins and phthalocyanines. Pioneered by Sir R. Patrick Linstead as an extension of his work on phthalocyanines,[1] porphyrazines differ from porphyrins in that they contain -meso nitrogen atoms, rather than carbon atoms, and differ from phthalocyanines in that their β-pyrrole positions are open for substitution. These differences confer physical properties that are distinct from both porphyrins and phthalocyanines.[2]

Synthesis

[edit]

Porphyrazines are prepared by magnesium templated cyclization of maleonitriles.[3] Cross-cyclization with phthalonitrile or diiminoisoindole derivatives is possible introducing a flexibile synthetic route that has led to the synthesis of porphyrazines with peripheral heterocyclic rings,[4] heteroatom substituents (S, O, N),[5] peripherally bound metal atoms,[6] and mixed -benzo porphyrazine systems.[7]

Optical properties

[edit]

Porphyrazines are most well known for their intense electronic absorption throughout the UV, visible, and NIR spectral regions. Electronic absorption spectra for porphyrazines are similar to those of phthalocyanines,[8] with an intense Soret band (λ ≈ 300 - 400 nm) and Q-band (λ > 600 nm).[7][9]

Porphyrazines exhibit fluorescence from the first excited singlet state (S1 → S0)[10] at visible and NIR wavelengths which is typical of tetrapyrrole macrocycles. Dual-emission from organic fluorophores is not common but, as observed in phthalocyanines,[11][12] violet emission from an upper excited state (S2 → S0) is observed in porphyrazines.[13][14][15]
