A new triad system featuring one zinc porphyrin and one fullerene moieties attached to a central redox-active Re(I) connector was obtained in remarkable yield by cleverly exploiting a facile two-step synthesis. Detailed description and discussion on the characterization of this multicomponent system and of its parent free-base analogue are presented, along with a kinetic study of the stepwise electron-transfer processes occurring upon visible excitation.

HBT-DPI was a single-molecule multi-conformational fluorescent material and had unique applications for hydrophobic/hydrophilic mapping on large-scale heterogeneous surfaces. In this paper, the different proton transfer processes and luminescence mechanisms of HBT-DPI in Dichloromethane (DCM, no hydrogen bond (HB) receptor) and N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF, HB receptor) solvents were systematically studied. Using the quantum chemistry method, the stable structures of HBT-DPI in two solvents were determined based on the Boltzmann distribution.

Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease that remains with a limited number of drugs available for chemotherapy and has an increased drug resistance that affects treatment outcomes. Metal-based drugs such as cyclopalladated complex [Pd(dmba)(μ-N)] (CP2), a Leishmania topoisomerase IB inhibitor involved in calcium dysregulation and mitochondrial dysfunction of the parasite, had been an alternative to outline the appearance of chemoresistance. To identify new molecular targets and point out possible resistance mechanisms, a CP2-resistant Leishmania amazonensis (LaR) was selected by stepwise exposure to increasing drug pressure until a line capable of growth in 13.

Due to the lower oxidation potential than natural nucleic acid bases, one-electron oxidation of DNA is usually funneled into the direction of intermediates for oxidized DNA damage like 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroadenine (8-oxoA) leading to a radical cation, which may undergo facile deprotonation. However, compared to the sophisticated studies devoted to natural bases, much less is known about the radical cation degradation behavior of an oxidized DNA base. Inspired by this, a comprehensive theoretical investigation is performed to illuminate the deprotonation of 8-oxoA radical cation (8-oxoA) in both free and encumbered context by calculating the p value and mapping the energy profiles.

Mimicking natural enzymes through artificial enzyme engineering represents a powerful strategy to fine-tune the performance of photocatalysts, while the manipulation of electron transfer systems through atomic precision control is challenging. Herein, we reported a series of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) based on progressively oxidized phenothiazine (PTH) core as the platform for emulating Coenzyme Q, achieved through meticulous stepwise adjustments of their redox states. Compared to the original PTH-S-COF, the COFs with incrementally oxidized sulfur sites exhibited enhanced charge transfer efficiencies, facilitating efficient electron donation to O and thereby providing a favorable pathway for HO synthesis.

The bidentate N, N, donor phenyl-azo-naphthaldoxime NpLH, 1 was used to synthesize the ruthenium(II) complex trans-[Ru(NpL)(CO)Cl(PPh)], 2. It has been characterized by SCXRD, electrochemical and spectral studies. Computational analysis indicates that the low-lying π*-LUMO of the complex has substantial azo-character of coordinated ligand.
