Abstract

The first syntheses of a series of regiochemically pure porphyrin dimers and trimers with ether linkages which are structurally related to Photofrin-II® are described. Stability of these oligomers was investigated using variable temperature proton NMR spectroscopy, and preliminary biological results reveal that manupulation of peripheral substituents causes a remarkable difference in photosensitizing ability in vivo.
