Water-soluble porphyrins can be phase transferred by the hyperbranched multiarm copolymer PEI-PZLys; good catalytic activities and recyclabilities were observed for oxidation catalyzed by the encapsulated porphyrins.

We synthesized two water-soluble porphyrins appending platinum(II) complexes [alpha,beta-(4a) and alpha,alpha-(4b) 5,15-bis(2-trans-[PtCl(NH3)2]N-2-aminoethylaminocarbonylphenyl) 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octamethylporphyrin] and studied their reactions with a variety of nucleic acids [disodium adenosine-5'-monophosphate (AMP), disodium guanosine-5'-monophosphate (GMP), disodium thymidine-5'-monophos...

Herein we report the synthesis of unsymmetrical meso-aryl substituted porphyrins, using NaY zeolite as an inorganic acid catalyst. A comparative study between this method and the several synthetic strategies available in the literature was carried out. Our method presented a better, more cost-efficient rationale and displayed a significantly lower environmental impact. Furthermore, it was possi...

Porphyrins and N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are both relevant ligands in the fields of coordination organometallic chemistry. Despite evident structural differences, porphyrins NHCs have a lot common such as their ability to form strong metal-ligand bonds use catalysis, materials science biomedicine. During last decade, several molecular systems combining NHC were reported literature. The pre...

Photocatalytic oxygenation of 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (AcrH2) by dioxygen (O2) with a manganese porphyrin [(P)Mn(III): 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)porphinatomanganese(III) hydroxide [(TMP)Mn(III)(OH)] (1) or 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinatomanganese(III) acetate [(TPFPP)Mn(III)(CH3COO)] (2)] occurred to yield 10-methyl-(9,10H)-acridone (Acr═O) in an oxyge...

A third crystalline modification of dodecaphenylporphyrin is described in which the pyrrole ni­ trogen atoms are hydrogen-bonded to two etha­ nol molecules. This is the first crystallographic proof for the accessibility of nitrogen atoms in saddle-distorted free base porphyrins for hy­ drogen bonding. No such coordination is possible in either planar or ruffled porphyrins. Thus, the possibility...

Electronic absorption, florescence excitation and AFM studies of selected homogeneous solutions and thin films of mesotetrakis (parahydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (THPP) (1), mesotetrakis (2, 3- dihydroxyphenyl) porphyrin 2, 3-OHPP) (2), mesotetrakis (3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (3, 4-OHPP) (3) as well as Zn(II) derivative of 2, 3-OHPP (4) under UV lamp and green laser irradiation (532 nm) are ac...

5-(4-X-Phenyl)-10,15,20-tris(substituted phenyl) porphyrins (4-6) were synthesized from meso-(substituted phenyl) dipyrromethanes (1-3), which in turn were prepared in yields of 75-92 %. This synthetic pathway was compared with the binary mixed aldehyde and pyrrole condensation method. The reported dipyrromethane approach is advantageous for porphyrins substituted by –OCH3 (4) and -F (6) groups...
