title: Synthesis, structure, and optical and electrochemical properties of star-shaped porphyrin-triarylamine conjugates.
abstract: A series of novel star-shaped porphyrin-triarylamine conjugates were synthesized by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The spectroscopic and electrochemical studies show that pi-conjugation of the porphyrin core is extended to the triarylamine moieties.
