Visualization of a protein in its native form and environment without any interferences has always been challenging task. Contrary to the assumption that surfaces are smooth, they are...

A relevant series of symmetric supramolecular porphyrins has been obtained by attaching four [RuII(bipy)2Cl] groups to the pyridyl substituents of meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin and its metallated derivatives. These compounds display a rich electrochemistry and versatile catalytic, electrocatalytic and photochemical properties, associated with the ruthenium-bipyridine and the porphyrin complexe...

F or this special issue of PNAS, it seems appropriate to begin with a brief commentary on the path(s) leading to where the discipline of electrochemistry is today. The papers in this issue serve as a sampling of the current themes and directions; we thank the authors for their contributions. We should also point to a nice collection of historical perspectives gathered together by Leddy et al. (...

We report on the generation of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) from luminol and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in alkaline aqueous solution entirely pure conducting polymer (CP) films. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) polypyrrole (PPy) films prepared by constant current electrolysis were used as bipolar electrodes (BPEs) to drive ECL emission a wireless mode with aid electrochemistry. A common...

Chiral binaphthyl-linked subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) (1) have been prepared by the cyclotrimerization reaction of a phthalonitrile linked with (R)- and (S)-2,2'-binaphthyl in the presence of BCl3, and characterized by various spectroscopies including NMR, electronic absorption, CD, and MCD, as well as electrochemistry.
