Two novel green β-substituted ZnII-porphyrins, G1 and G2, based on a 4D–π–1A type
substitution pattern have been synthesized. Their enhanced push–pull character, by
reduction of H–L energy gaps, promotes broadening and red-shifting of absorption bands.
The effective synthetic pathway and the remarkable spectroscopic properties make G2 ideal
for BIPV application.
