Chiral aggregation of oligo(p-phenylene vinylene)-functionalized Zn and free-base porphyrins is observed in water. The formation of mixed assemblies containing both porphyrins results in sequential energy transfer from OPV via zinc porphyrin to free-base porphyrin. Furthermore, the incorporation of C60 as electron acceptor yields a charge separated state by ultimate electron transfer.

Coenzyme Q (CoQ) and closely related compounds with varying isoprenoid tail lengths (CoQ, = 6-9) are biochemical cofactors involved in many physiological processes, playing important roles in cellular respiration and energy production. Liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with single or tandem mass spectrometry (MS) using electrospray (ESI) or atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) is considered the gold standard for the identification and quantification of CoQ in food and biological samples. However, the characteristic fragmentation exhibited by the CoQ radical anion ([M], / 862.

The concurrent evolution of value-added benzimidazole compounds and hydrogen within the domain of chemical synthesis is of paramount importance. The utilization of photocatalysis enhances both the efficiency and environmental benignity of the synthetic process. However, it is profoundly challenging within a photocatalytic system to simultaneously augment the number of active sites and the internal transport rate of photogenerated charge carriers.

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is a crucial chemical process involving the simultaneous or sequential transfer of protons and electrons, playing a vital role in biological processes and energy conversion technologies. This study investigates the use of an organic photoredox catalyst to facilitate a unimolecular PCET process for the generation of alkyl radicals from benzylic alcohols, with a particular focus on alcohols containing electron-rich arene units. By employing a benzophenone derivative as the catalyst, the reaction proceeds efficiently under photoirradiation, achieving significant yields without the need for a Brønsted base.
