Abstract

A porphyrin-based `molecular square' (1), prepared by reaction of a dipyridylporphyrin species with Re(CO)₅Cl and subsequently with Zn^II acetate, was functionalized with 2-(methylene-15-crown-5-ether)-nicotinoyl ester (2). Functionalization was achieved by axially ligating each of the four available Zn^II sites within the porphyrins. (2) was synthesized by reaction of 2-(hydroxymethyl)-15-crown-5-ether and nicotinoyl chloride in CH₂Cl₂. Functionalization renders the square's fluorescence emission intensity responsive to added Na⁺ and, to a lesser extent, K⁺.
