Abstract
The first example of monovalent and bimetallic porphyrins(2.1.2.1), the rhodium(I) complex of porphyrin(2.1.2.1), was readily obtained under controlled conditions. The coordinated rhodium(I) drastically influenced the molecular structure and optical and electronic properties. Our results clearly demonstrate that porphyrin(2.1.2.1) could be developed as a new binucleating ligand for the fabrication of bimetallic complexes.
