Interactions between gold-based materials and dioxygen (O) have motivated researchers to understand reaction mechanisms for O activation by homo- and heterogeneous gold catalysts. In this work, gold(I) porphyrin dinuclear complexes were synthesized with a saddle-distorted porphyrin ligand. The gold(I) porphyrin complexes showed unprecedented O activation in the presence of protic solvents to form gold(III) tetradentate porphyrin complexes.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising clinical antitumor strategy. However, local hyperthermia inevitably induces heat damage to adjacent normal tissues, while alternative mild-temperature therapy (MPTT, < 45 °C) is also inefficient due to the overexpressed hyperthermia-induced heat shock proteins (HSPs) by cancer cells. Therefore, developing PTT strategies with minimizing damage to healthy tissues with improved cellular temperature sensitivity is extremely valuable for clinical application.

In dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), flat planar dyes (e. g., highly light-harvesting porphyrins and corroles) with multiple anchoring groups are known to adopt a horizontal orientation on TiO through the multiple binding to TiO.

The process of the dyad formation passing as self-assembly in the donor-acceptor phthalocyanine-porphyrin systems was explored using UV-Visible, IR, and H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The geometric and electronic structures of the dyads were identified using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations.

Soret-excited resonance Raman spectra (λ 413.1 nm) were acquired for manganese(III) and gold(III) tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole, each as four different isotopomeric samples: natural abundance, fully pyrrole-N-substituted, fully meso-C-substituted, and fully pyrrole-N-meso-C-substituted. The spectra were modeled with density functional theory-based vibrational analyses, which in general did an excellent job of reproducing both the absolute frequencies and isotope shifts.
