Abstract
We have synthesized and crystallographically characterized the first polymeric metalloporphyrins in which each subunit is bridged by a non-symmetric ligand. One of them, [FeIII(TPP)(ImPhO)]n, has a non-centrosymmetric crystal structure. The unusual metal atom displacement implies the core of metalloporphyrin ring is flexible and that the relative position of the metal atom to the porphyrin ring may change under the influence of an external force. The compounds are our best candidates to date for field responsive properties, and studies of its ferroelectric properties are under way.
