Summary: The study reports a method for synthesizing dipyrromethanes at 90°C in the presence of K(2)S(2)O(8) with high yields. The method avoids the use of excess pyrrole, using instead a stoichiometric amount, and demonstrates potential for scale-up production of dipyrromethanes.

Summary: This study focuses on characterizing the spectral properties of TiO2 nanoparticles functionalized with three different porphyrin derivatives. UV-Vis absorption and FTIR-ATR spectroscopy were used to investigate the porphyrin-TiO2 complexes. The efficiency of singlet oxygen generation, an important factor in photodynamic therapy, was also evaluated. The results demonstrate that the porphyrin complexes with TiO2 exhibit higher singlet oxygen generation efficiency compared to bare porphyrins, making them potential candidates for in vitro photodynamic therapy assays.

Summary: Pyrrole can be C-glycosylated at different positions using acid-catalyzed reactions with different glycosyl donors, yielding pyrroles carrying various sugar units. The configuration of the products can be determined using a combination of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, while undesired background reactions can be eliminated. The glycosylated pyrroles can be successfully incorporated into polysaccharide compounds.

Summary: The expedient synthesis, spectroscopic analysis, solid state structural proof, and theoretical study of helically twisted weakly aromatic hybrid singly N-confused ferrocenoporphyrinoids and the peripheral coordinated Rh(I) complex are reported. The three-dimensional structure with built-in fused tricyclic [5.5.5] moiety leads to weak diatropicity, while the peripheral coordinated Rh(I) complex exists as a mixture of diastereomers with well-resolved H-1 NMR spectra revealing weak aromaticity. The experimental spectroscopic measurements and theoretical electronic structure analysis strongly support sustained weak diatropic ring currents in twisted macrocycles.

Summary: In this study, ferrocenyl-substituted nickel(II) norcorrole and nickel(II) porphyrin were prepared as active electrode materials for dual-ion batteries. The electrochemical behaviors and mechanism of these materials were investigated through experimental and computational studies. The results demonstrate that these electrodes exhibit excellent electrochemical performance, high capacity, and rapid charge-discharge processes. Furthermore, when combined with other materials, high power and energy density cells with outstanding cyclability were achieved.

Summary: An axially coordinated oligomer of ferrocene-based Sn(IV) porphyrin with C-60 was synthesized and characterized, showing no electronic interaction in the ground state among the photoactive components. However, efficient photoinduced electron transfer occurred under specific conditions, resulting in the formation of a stable charge-separated state. In addition, a prompt and stable photocurrent was generated in photovoltaic devices under irradiation with monochromatic light.

Summary: This study proposes a promising synthetic method for functionalized titanium dioxide (TiO2) by combining photoactive porphyrin-periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) with hollow TiO2 nanospheres, forming a multi-component synergistic system. The prepared composite TiO2@Pro exhibits photocatalytic activity in the aerobic oxidation of sulfide in the aqueous phase under visible light. The high reactivity is attributed to the catalyst's large specific surface area, amphiphilicity, wide visible light absorption, and high electron-hole pair separation rate. This strategy provides a new approach for designing TiO2-based photocatalysts for heterogeneous catalysis under visible light.

Summary: Modification of molecular structure can enhance photocatalytic activity by reducing interfacial electron-hole recombination. Two zinc porphyrins are synthesized and doped on TiO2 for photodegrading an organic pollutant AB1. The composite with TPA-BiPh-ZnP exhibits faster degradation kinetics than the composite with Cb-Ph-ZnP.

Summary: A study on a series of BODIPY dyes with different conjugation and electron-donating groups showed that certain dyes with specific substituents exhibit significant absorption cross sections in the biological transparency window. The BODIPY derivative with the vinyltriphenylamine group demonstrated the highest photoacoustic emission and contrast compared to commercially available contrast agents.

Summary: This study aims to provide insights into the influence of steric and Lewis basic ligands on the CO2 reduction mechanisms with [MnI(R2bpy)-(CO)3(CH3CN)]+ precatalysts. The study found that moderate steric bulk allows unique insight into catalyst activation and CO2 binding. The results from cyclic voltammetry and computed free energies show that steric hindrance is related to CO2 binding, but a critical balance must be maintained. Different ligands and reaction mechanisms can affect the catalytic performance and overpotential of the catalysts. Additionally, the ligands have different effects on the rate-determining C-OH bond cleavage transition state.

Summary: The electronic and photophysical properties of a series of ruthenium(II) polypyridyl dyes were studied with the incorporation of a pi-accepting 5-(vinyl-cyanine)-8-oxyquinolate ligand for improved vis-NIR absorption. Through computational and experimental investigations, the influence of these ligands on the electronic and photophysical properties of the complexes was probed. Select complexes showed strong optical absorption and photoacoustic emission at 680 nm, comparable to commercial dyes like methylene blue and cryptocyanine, suggesting their potential as vis-NIR photoacoustic contrast agents.

Summary: Chiral transition metal complexes with privileged ligands are efficient catalysts for various asymmetric organic transformations. Transition metal complexes of C1-symmetric pyrrolidine-based ligands have been widely used in asymmetric organic reactions. However, a comprehensive review article on the transition metal complexes of chiral C1-symmetric pyrrolidine-based ligands derived from (L)-proline has not been published.
