Change of electron-transfer path-selectivity in a triad by F-coordination at a boronate-ester bridge

Hideo Shiratori, Atsuhiro Osuka, Takeshi Ohno and Koichi Nozaki


In a triad comprising of a zinc porphyrin donor (ZP) appended to a naphthalene-1,84,5-tetracarboxylic diimide (NI) and a pyromellitic diimide (PI) through a boronate ester and an acetal bridge, respectively, F-coordination at the boronate bridge induced clear switching of the electron-transfer path from 1ZP* NI to 1ZP* PI.
