Hybrids of cationic porphyrins with nanocarbons.

In the review hybrids of cationic porphyrins ( porphyrins functionalized by quaternary pyridinium groups) with nanocarbons such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene are described. Selected examples of these species are characterized in regard of their properties and possible applications.

AM1 CI and ZINDO/S study of quaternary salts of diazaphenanthrenes with haloalkanes.

For quaternary salts of diazaphenanthrenes 1-3 with methyl iodide 4-6, diiodomethane 7-9 and 1,2-dibromoethane 10-12 UV spectral values have been calculated by AM1 CI, and in the case of 4-6 also with ZINDO/S method. Correlations of experimental and calculated wavenumber values of considered compounds show good compatibility. For geometry optimisation of 4-9 the AM1 CI method has been used.
