We report the synthesis of a series of zinc porphyrins conjugated with pyrimidine derivatives. V shaped porphyrin dimer with a pyrimidine central core exhibits a planar geometry according to DFT computational studies, presents an internal charge transfer upon excitation proved by typical solvatochromic behavior and moderate two-photon absorption properties. Such porphyrin conjugates can afford valuable advantages in applications of TPA materials such as in photodynamic therapy and imaging of biological entities.
