Mesoporous thin films based on neutral, porphyrin-bridged, tetrarhenium "square" compounds (metallacycles) display permeability to molecules smaller than the dimensions of an individual square cavity, but blocking behavior toward larger species (see schematic representation). The characteristic permeant size cutoff can be systematically and predictably manipulated by decorating the walls of the porphyrin square with axially bound, mono-, bi-, and tetradentate ligands.

Metal-organic framework nanosheets (MONs) have proved themselves to be useful additives for enhancing the performance of a variety of thin film solar cell devices. However, to date only isolated examples have been reported. In this work we take advantage of the modular structure of MONs in order to resolve the effect of their different structural and optoelectronic features on the performance of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices.

Developing two-dimensional (2D) hybrid nanosheet arrays integrating inorganic and organic components is highly significant for third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) applications. Herein, an oriented 2D porphyrin-based MOF (ZnTPyP(Co)) thin film composed of vertically stacked ultrathin nanosheets was fabricated via the liquid-phase epitaxial (LPE) layer-by-layer (LBL) method. The prepared ZnTPyP(Co) thin film exhibits an outstanding third-order NLO response with a high third-order nonlinear susceptibility of ∼2.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), characterized by tunable porosity, high surface area, and diverse chemical compositions, offer unique prospects for applications in optoelectronic devices. However, the prevailing research on thin-film devices utilizing MOFs has predominantly focused on aspects such as information storage and photosensitivity, often neglecting the integration of the advantages inherent in both photonics and electronics to enhance optical memory. This work demonstrates a light-mediated resistive memory device based on a highly oriented porphyrin-based MOFs film, in which the resistance state of the memristor is modulated by light, realizing the integration of the perception and storage of optical information.

Thin films of cobalt porphyrin conjugated polymers bearing different substituents are prepared by oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) and investigated as heterogeneous electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Interestingly, the electrocatalytic activity originates from polymer-derived, highly transparent Co(Fe)O species formed under operational alkaline conditions. Structural, compositional, electrical, and electrochemical characterizations reveal that the newly formed active catalyst greatly benefited from both the polymeric conformation of the porphyrin-based thin film and the inclusion of the iron-based species originating from the oCVD reaction.
