Synthesis of Dendrimers with Porphyrine Core and their Supramolecular Complexes with Fullerene C60

Dendritic branches of poly(arylether) with peripheral butyl chains have been attached to a porphyrine core. Dendrimers of first, second and third generation were synthesized. Viability to form supramolecular complexes with fullerene C60 was studied with two dendrimers of second and third generation. The supramolecular complexes were characterized by 1H, 13C NMR in solution, FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopy and elemental analysis.
