The synthesis and anion recognition properties of several porphyrin derivatives fused at the β-position with sulfonamide, urea, amide, polyamine and macrocyclic polyamine anion recognition elements is reported here. The distinct attribute of the receptors, compared to other porphyrin based receptors, centers on the attachment of the anion-binding site to the porphyrin chromophore through a planar polycyclic conjugated linkage. In these molecules, the porphyrin serves as the chromophore that reports on the anion recognition event. The salt recognition properties of porphyrin receptors fused with both anion and cation recognition elements will also be reported.
