beta-Meta- and -para-linked diporphyrins have been synthesized from two complementary routes using Suzuki cross-coupling and Adler condensation. Porphyrin boronate 6 cross couples with beta-monobromoporphyrin 2 to give unsymmetrically substituted porphyrin dimer 7c in high yield, and Adler condensation of beta-formylphenyltetraphenylporphyrins 9b,c with aryl aldehydes yields electronically tunable diporphyrins 7a-e. The homo- and hetero-bimetallic complexes 11a-c have been synthesized. Selective mono-metalation with zinc acetate at the beta-substituted site has been found for 7a. The Zn-Co diporphyrin complex 11c undergoes strong emission quenching compared to that of the diporphyrin 11a and dizinc diporphyrin 11b.

The preparations of homo- and hetero-bimetallic complexes as well as thiourea and selenourea derivatives of a mesoionic Janus-type N-heterocyclic dicarbene (diNHC) are reported. Analogues of its monocationic intermediate NHC have also been obtained for comparison. Using the main group adducts, the π-acceptor properties of both NHCs were determined using low temperature Se NMR spectroscopy completing their stereoelectronic profiling.

The reduction of carbon dioxide (CO) into value-added feedstock materials, fine chemicals, and fuels represents a crucial approach for meeting contemporary chemical demands while reducing dependence on petrochemical sources. Optimizing catalysts for the CO reduction reaction (CORR) can entail employing first principles methodology to identify catalysts possessing desirable attributes, including the ability to form diverse products or selectively produce a limited set of products, or exhibit favorable reaction kinetics. In this study, we investigate CORR on bimetallic Cu-based paddlewheel complexes, aiming to understand the impact metal substitution with Mn(II), Co(II), or Ni(II) has on bimetallic paddlewheel metal-organic frameworks.

Article Synopsis
  • A new hetero-bimetallic photosensitizer combining Ru(II) and Ir(III) was developed for light-activated applications.
  • Unlike traditional homogeneous complexes, this bimetallic complex can produce various reactive oxygen species, making it more effective in targeting hypoxic tumors.
  • This research showcases the first instance of a dual photosensitizer that operates through both type-I and type-II mechanisms.

Hetero-bimetallic ruthenium(II) complexes (PRAFIZ and PRBFIZ) containing acetyl ferrocene (AFIZ)/benzoyl ferrocene isonicotinic hydrazone ligands (BFIZ) were synthesized and characterized by various spectral and analytical techniques. The structure of acetyl ferrocene isonicotinic hydrazone (AFIZ) and the complex PRBFIZ was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The hydrazide ligands coordinated in a bidentate monobasic fashion using their N1 hydrazinic nitrogen and enolic oxygen atoms.

Developing efficient metal-organic framework (MOF) optical devices with tunable third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties is an important challenge for scientific research and practical application. Herein, 2D monometallic and hetero/homo-bimetallic porphyrin MOF thin films (ZnTCPP(M) M = H, Fe, Zn) were fabricated using the liquid-phase epitaxial (LPE) layer-by-layer (LBL) method to investigate the metal substitution dependent third-order NLO behavior. The prepared homo-bimetallic ZnTCPP(Zn) thin film exhibited enhanced third-order NLO performance with a higher third-order nonlinear susceptibility of ∼4.
