Introduction
Results and discussion
Platinum porphyrins have been widely used as phosphorescent labels,1 oxygen sensors,2 organic thin-film transistors,3 and organic electroluminescent materials.4 Various types of platinum porphyrins have been synthesized.5 Synthesis of p-extended platinum porphyrins has also produced meso-substituted derivatives with good solubility.6 These porphyrins are expected to have interesting properties such as high-quantum-efficiency near-IR phosphorescence and large absorptivity in the near-IR region. However, platinum complexes of meso-unsubstituted p-extended porphyrins, such as tetrabenzoporphyrin (BP, 1), [2,3]tetranaphthoporphyrin (NP, 2), and [2,3]tetraanthraporphyrin (AP, 3), have not been synthesized (Fig. 1). We previously reported that when tetrabicycloporphyrins (CP: 4, BCP: 5, NCP: 6) and their metal complexes are heated, they can be converted to p-extended porphyrins 1–3 in 100% yield.7 Tetrabicycloporphyrins 4–6 are soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. If platinum bicycloporphyrins (4-Pt, 5-Pt, 6-Pt) are synthesized, p-extended platinum porphyrins (1-Pt, 2-Pt, 3-Pt) can be also prepared. However, introducing platinum into the porphyrin core usually requires high temperatures, which results in pyrolysis of the bicyclo[2.2.2] octadiene (BCOD) ring. Moreover, platinum acts as an oxidizing agent owing to its low ionization tendency, and the thermal decomposition of the BCOD ring proceeds even at low temperatures.8 We report the synthesis of p-extended platinum porphyrins under mild conditions via soluble precursors.
In general, platinum porphyrins are prepared by treating freebase porphyrin with PtCl2 in high-boiling solvents, such as PhCN or DMF, at temperatures of 180 °C or above.9 Bicycloporphyrins 4–6 underwent the pyrolysis of the BCOD ring and ring-opening of the porphyrin core under these reaction conditions. Next, we tried a milder complexation method. Bicycloporphyrin 5 with a relatively high thermal stability was successfully converted into platinum complex 5-Pt by refluxing PtCl2 in glacial acetic acid (bp = 118 °C) in a yield of 39% (Scheme 1: Method A). However, no 4-Pt was produced by this method, and only a mixture containing BP (1) was obtained.10 Under acidic or oxidative conditions, the thermal decomposition of BCOD rings can occur at a much lower temperature than under neutral or basic conditions. Complexation of CP (4) did not proceed at low temperatures (room temperature to 70 °C) in this reaction, and the starting material was recovered. From the above results, we concluded that the following three factors are important: (i) a low reaction temperature during the complexation; (ii) using a platinum salt that is soluble in the solvent; and (iii) keeping the reaction solution basic. We investigated a reaction similar to the titanylation and vanadylation with a metal chloride and strong base.11 When PtCl2 and CP (4) reacted with LiHMDS as the base in toluene at 45 °C, a trace amount of 4-Pt was observed. Next, we focused on the synthesis of [Pt4(OAc)82HOAc] from PtCl2 and Ag(OAc).12 [Pt4(OAc)82HOAc] is suitable for complexation of porphyrins that are soluble in chloroform, and replacement of the ligand or counteranion occurs at relatively low temperatures. When CP (4) reacted with 1.0 equiv of [Pt4(OAc)82HOAc] in chloroform at 60 °C for

48 h under Ar, target 4-Pt was obtained in 3% yield. Under similar reaction conditions, the yield of 4-Pt was increased to 25% by the addition of 10 equiv of CH3CO2Na as buffer (Scheme 2: Method B).13 5-Pt and 6-Pt were also obtained by using this method in 20% and 15% yields, respectively. Platinum bicycloporphyrins (1-Pt, 2-Pt, 3-Pt) were obtained in 100% yield by heating the corresponding p-extended platinum porphyrins at 220–300 °C for 1 h under inert gas (Scheme 3). UV–vis spectra of the platinum bicycloporphyrins (4-Pt, 5-Pt, and 6-Pt) and tetrabenzoporphyrin platinum (1-Pt) were recorded. The absorption maxima of the platinum porphyrins were blueshifted compared with freebase CP (4) because of the back donation effects of Pt, and there was no increase in the extinction coefficient. The absorption characteristics were similar to typical metal complexes. In contrast, the extinction coefficient of 1-Pt increased

significantly compared with typical BP metal complexes. In particular, there was a large increase in the extinction coefficient of the Q band in 1-Pt (kmax = 596 nm, log e = 5.03; in pyridine) (Fig. 2).14 UV–vis spectra of p-extended platinum porphyrins (2-Pt, 3-Pt) were not obtained because they did not readily dissolve in any solvents. The oxidation potentials of platinum bicycloporphyrins (4-Pt, 5-Pt, 6-Pt) were determined by cyclic voltammetry. The first oxidation potentials increased substantially (4-Pt: Eox1/2(1) = 0.515 V; 5-Pt: Eox1/2(1) = 0.609 V; 6-Pt: Eox1/2(1) = 0.658 V vs Ag/AgNO3, 0.1 M TBAP in PhCN, Fc = +0.076 V) compared with freebase CP (1) (Eox1/2(1) = +0.287 V, Eox1/2(2) = +0.699 V). The increase of the first oxidation potentials is not only the effect of the r–p conjugation, but also that of platinum coordination since 4-Pt also exhibited the increase of the oxidation potential compared to the freebase form.15 The oxidation potentials of the p-extended platinum porphyrins (1-Pt, 2-Pt, 3-Pt) were not obtained because they did not readily dissolve in any solvents. We used solution-based fabrication to make an FET device with 4-Pt, which was then converted to 1-Pt. The FET device containing 1-Pt was fabricated as follows.16 The source and drain electrodes were formed on a 300-nm-thick layer of thermally grown SiO2 on a Sb-doped n-type Si substrate (capacitance = 11.5 nF cm 2) by photolithography of Au (90 nm)/Cr (10 nm) layers. The standard channel length and width were 10 and 100 lm, respectively. The channels were spin coated with a 0.7 wt % CHCl3 solution of 4-Pt. The film was converted into 1-Pt by heating at 210 °C for 20 min. The devices were fabricated under a dry N2 atmosphere. The

devices based on 1-Pt showed FET characteristics (10 lm: l = 2.3 10 3 cm2/V s, 100 lm: l = 4.9 10 4 cm2/V s). Conclusions We have prepared p-extended platinum porphyrins via bicycloporphyrins with [Pt4(OAc)82HOAc] or followed by the retro Diels– Alder reaction. Our method requires milder conditions than established methods and should assist in developing new functional organic materials that contain porphyrin units.
