Abstract
Three meso-tetra[( p -alkoxyl- m -ethyloxy)phenyl]porphyrins and their transition metal (Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, Mn) complexes were synthesized. The molecular structures were confirmed by means of 1H NMR, UV-Vis, IR, elemental analyses, etc., which indicate the valence state of Mn atom in the compound is +3 and Ni, Cu, Zn, Co atom is +2. Optical properties were discussed by fluorescence spectrum. The quantum yields of the complexes are much lower than the corresponding ligands.
