Synthesis of a quinone-functionalized macrocyclic ligand and the intense fluorescence of its zinc complex.
The redox-active quinone-functionalized macrocyclic ligand 1,4,14,17-tetrahydroxyhemiporphyrazine, H2hp(OH)4, has been synthesized and its zinc complex, [Zn(hp(OH)4)(py)], found to exhibit intense fluorescence.
