In this paper we report the synthesis and self-assembling behavior of new porphyrin-azulene-porphyrin and porphyrin-azulene conjugates. The porphyrin-azulene-porphyrin conjugate gelates a number of organic solvents, while the porphyrin-azulene conjugates form vesicles in a chloroform-methanol binary mixture. The structures of the

A "2 + 2" strategy for synthesizing adj-dicarbaporphyrinoid systems has been developed. In a model study, an azulenylmethylpyrrole dialdehyde was condensed with a dipyrrylmethane in the presence of HCl, followed by oxidation with ferric chloride, to give a modest yield
Blue makes it happen: The non-uniform charge distribution of the blue colored azulene framework is highly suitable for the bioisosteric replacement of bicyclic heteroarene moieties. Showing an analogous binding mode as heterocyclic dopamine D4 receptor-selective lead compounds, the induction of

In spite of having small pi-conjugation systems, azulenes show large binding constants (10(4)-10(5)) to C(60) and C(70), which are larger than those of monoporphyrins and alternant aromatic hydrocarbons.

Azulenocyanine, having four azulene units fused to a tetraazaporphyrin skeleton, is a structural isomer of naphthalocyanine. We synthesized the first example of an azulenocyanine from 1,3-di-tert-butyl-5,6-dicyanoazulene. The macrocycle exhibits broad absorption over the visible and near-IR regions far beyond 1000
