Following a multistep procedure, the copper(I)-templated strategy allowed preparation of a multifunctional [3]rotaxane. The dumbbell consists of a central two-bidentate chelate unit and two terminal stoppers. The two rings threaded on the rotaxane axis consist each of a 1,10-phenanthroline-incorporating macrocycle, rigidly connected to an appended zinc-complexed porphyrin. The copper(I) template can be removed, affording a free rotaxane whose two rings can glide freely along the axis and spin around it. The dumbbell being very long (approximately 85 A in its extended conformation from one stopper to the other), the porphyrin-porphyrin distance can be varied over a wide range. The two porphyrinic plates constitute the key elements of a receptor able to complex various guests between the plates. The ability of the threaded rings to move freely makes the host perfectly adjustable, allowing capture of geometrically very different guests. The copper(I)-complexed rotaxane also acts as an efficient receptor, although its adaptability is obviously more limited than that of its free rotaxane counterpart.

A Zn-coordinated porphyrinic artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (αSEI) layer, named [Zn]PP-4COO-(Zn), was developed to improve the reversibility of zinc metal plating/stripping in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Inspired by nitrogen-terminating sites of biological molecules coordinating and transporting zinc in zinc metabolic processes, the αSEI layer was designed with zinc ions connecting porphyrinic building blocks to form two-dimensional clathrate sheets and stacking -plane sheets along the -axis to allow N cages to align and form porphyrinic N channels for zinc transport. The [Zn]PP-4COO-(Zn) αSEI layer was Zn-conductive and structurally durable during repeated stripping/plating.

Fluorescence imaging is an effective method for detecting porphyrin production in bacteria, leveraging the natural fluorescence properties of porphyrins. Here we use a simple, lightweight, hands-free device for rapid, non-invasive assessments in clinical settings, microbial research, and diagnostic applications. Specifically in this study, we examined 15 bacterial and 2 fungal strains commonly associated with skin, oral, and/or multi-site infections at wound sites for their ability to autofluoresce based on their porphyrin production.

Lithium (Li) metal batteries with remarkable energy densities are restrained by short lifetime and low Coulombic efficiency (CE), resulting from the accumulative Li dendrites and dead Li during cycling. Here, we prepared a new three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic framework (COF) with dense lithiophilic sites (heteoatom weight contents of 32.32 wt %) as an anodic protective layer of Li metal batteries.

The iron-containing porphyrin heme is of high interest for the food industry for the production of artificial meat as well as for medical applications. Recently, the biotechnological platform strain Corynebacterium glutamicum has emerged as a promising host for animal-free heme production. Beyond engineering of complex heme biosynthetic pathways, improving heme export offers significant yet untapped potential for enhancing production strains.

Due to antimicrobial drug resistance, there is a growing interest in the development of light based alternative antibacterial therapies. This research work is focused on the inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) by exploiting the absorption bands 405, 505, 542, 580 and 631 nm of its indigenously produced Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) excited by three LEDs with broad emission bands at 418, 522 and 630 nm and two laser diodes with narrow emission bands at 405 and 635 nm.
