Gallium(III) complexes of methyl pyropheophorbide-a as synthetic models for investigation of diastereomerically controlled axial ligation towards chlorophylls.
Gallium(III) chlorins possessing a series of axial ligands were synthesized as model compounds of natural chlorophylls. A pair of diastereomers arising from the fifth axial coordination onto the asymmetric chlorin pi-macrocycle could be discriminated in a solution by both (1)H- and (13)C NMR spectroscopies.
