The self-assembly of two tripodal porphyrin hosts in the presence of C(60), in the solid state, has been studied using synchrotron X-ray crystallography, and in solution by using (1)H NMR and fluorescence spectroscopies. The binding affinities, stoichiometries and geometries strongly depend on the size of the porphyrin host. Intramolecular and/or intermolecular porphyrin-fullerene interactions are observed in the co-crystallites and in each case, the trimer exhibits a "tweezers-like" structural motif. The solid-state structures of the trimer-fullerene co-crystallites reveal close fullerene-porphyrin and fullerene-fullerene contacts.

A series of seven-coordinated monoporphyrinate rare-earth(III) complexes featuring a novel tripodal tin-chelated trisphosphineoxide scorpionate ligand with the general formula [(TPP)Ln(PPhO)Sn] (Ln = Y, La, Dy, Er, Ho, Yb; TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinate) were synthesized by reactions of the potassium tripodal scorpionate ligand [Sn(PPhO)K] with porphyrinate rare-earth metal chlorides [(TPP)LnCl(dme)] (Ln = Y, Dy, Er, Ho, Yb) or porphyrinate lanthanum borohydride [(TPP)LaBH(thf)]. The complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, and ion mobility mass spectrometry. All complexes emit weak red TPP-based fluorescence, accompanied by near-infrared emission of Er, Ho (rather weak), and Yb (relatively intense with a quantum yield of 1% in dichloromethane solution) of the corresponding complexes.

A series of molecular precursors, containing one ( and ) or three ( and ) pyrene anchors, covalently linked to porphyrins (free base or Zn), were prepared and characterized. All of them enable their π-π stacking onto low-dimensional nanocarbons including single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and nanographene (NG), their individualization, and their characterization. Microscopic (TEM, AFM) and spectroscopic (steady-state UV-vis and fluorescence, spectroelectrochemistry, and transient absorption measurements) techniques were at the forefront of the characterizations and were complemented by Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.

The design and synthesis of two families of molecular-gear prototypes is reported, with the aim of assembling them into trains of gears on a surface and ultimately achieving controlled intermolecular gearing motion. These piano-stool ruthenium complexes incorporate a hydrotris(indazolyl)borate moiety as tripodal rotation axle and a pentaarylcyclopentadienyl ligand as star-shaped cogwheel, equipped with five teeth ranging from pseudo-1D aryl groups to large planar 2D paddles. A divergent synthetic approach was followed, starting from a pentakis(p-bromophenyl)cyclopentadienyl ruthenium(II) complex as key precursor or from its iodinated counterpart, obtained by copper-catalyzed aromatic Br/I exchange.

Six directed hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions allow for the reversible capture and reduction of dioxygen to a trans-1,2-peroxo within a tripodal zinc(II) framework. Spectroscopic studies of the dizinc peroxides, as well as on model zinc diazides, suggest H-bonding contributions serve a dominant role for the binding/activation of these small molecules.

The major problems of porphyrins as promising materials for photodynamic therapy (PDT) are their low solubility, subsequently aggregation in biological environments, and a lack of tumor selectivity. With this in mind, a chitosan-based hydrogel conjugated with tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (NH-TPP) and 2,4,6-tris(p-formylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine (TRIPOD) via Schiff base linkage, functionalized with folate was designed and synthesized as a pH-sensitive, self-healable and injectable targeted PS delivery system. This new hydrogel was characterized by FT-IR, H NMR, SEM, UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy and zeta potential.
