A series of porous metalloporphyrin frameworks prepared from the 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (HTPyP) linker and four metal complexes, M(hfac) M = Cu(II), Zn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) (hfac: 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate), were obtained using supercritical CO (scCO) as a solvent. All the materials, named generically as [M-TPyP] , formed porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with surface areas of ∼450 m g. All MOFs were formed through the coordination of the metal to the exocyclic pyridine moieties in the porphyrin linker.

Nephrolithiasis is a multifactor disease that produces nephrolites in the kidneys. Calcium oxalate hydrate (dihydrated, COD, or monohydrated, COM) stones are the most common ones with more than sixty percent incidence worldwide. They are related to different pathologies, COD with hypercalciuria and COM with hyperoxaluria.

The synthesis of 1D cobalt and zinc monometallic and heterometallic coordination polymers (CPs) was carried out applying one-pot synthetic methods by using either supercritical carbon dioxide or ethanol as the solvent. A collection of four 1D CPs were thus obtained by the combination of a metal (or a mixture of metals) with the linker 1,4-bis(4-pyridylmethyl)benzene. The used metallic complexes were zinc and cobalt hexafluoroacetylacetonate, which can easily incorporate pyridine ligands in the coordination sphere of the metal centre.

Wheland intermediates are usually unstable compounds and only a few have been isolated at very low temperatures. During our work on tyrosine kinase inhibitors, we studied the bromination of 7 in order to obtain a dibromo substituted pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one which could be orthogonally decorated. Surprisingly, treatment of 7 with 3 equiv.
