The synthesis of two A2B2 porphyrins, {5,15-bis-[4-(octyloxy)phenyl]-porphyrinato}zinc(ii) () and {5,15-bis-(carbazol-3-yl-ethynyl)-10,20-bis-[4-(octyloxy)phenyl]-porphinato}-zinc(ii) (), is reported. Their photophysical properties were studied by steady-state absorption and emission. Substituting the carbazolylethynyl moieties at two of the meso positions results in a large bathochromic shift of all the absorption bands, a notable increase in the absorption coefficient of the Q(0,0) band, and higher fluorescence quantum yield compared to porphyrin , with two unsubstituted meso positions. Cyclic voltammetry and digital simulation show that electrogenerated radical ions of are more stable than those of . The lack of substituents at the meso positions of leads to dimerization reactions of the radical cation. Despite this, the annihilation reaction of and produces very similar electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) intensity. Spectroelectrochemical experiments demonstrate that the electroreduction of leads to a strong absorption band that might quench the ECL.

We report the synthesis of 5-bora-21,22-dioxaporphyrin and its main-group and d-block metal complexes and , respectively. These macrocyclic boranes constitute the first examples of neutral porphyrins with boron in a -position that exhibit global aromaticity. This is evidenced by spectroscopic and structural features as well as calculated nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS) and anisotropic induced current densities (ACID).

It is highly desired to achieve Type-I photosensitizer (PS) to overcome the hypoxic limitation found in most clinically used PSs. Herein, a new heavy-atom-free Type-I PS T-BNCy5 is presented by incorporating a biotin-modified naphthalimide (NI) unit into the meso-position of a N-benzyl-functionalized, strongly photon-capturing pentamethine cyanine (Cy5) dye. Such molecular engineering induces a rigid orthogonal geometry between NI and Cy5 units by introducing an intramolecular sandwich-like π-π stacking assembly, which effectively promotes intersystem crossing (ISC) and greatly extends the triplet-state lifetime (τ = 389 µs), thereby markedly improving the superoxide (O )-generating ability.

Monitoring coastal dynamics is critical for the effective protection of coastal environments. Satellite remote sensing data offers significant potential to support this monitoring while also addressing the considerable challenges posed by the rapidly changing environmental conditions in coastal regions, such as tidal levels and currents. These challenges are particularly pronounced in meso- and macrotidal coastal areas.

Background: The development of robust chiral transition metal complexes is of paramount importance for advanced asymmetric catalysis, diagnostic and therapy, as well as for the emerging field of solid-state luminescent materials. Tricarbonylrhenium(I) complexes are intrinsically chiral, and their association as dinuclear molecules introduces additional layers of diastereoisomerism and enantiomerism, enhancing their versatility for potential applications. Up to now, separation of dinuclear complexes has made it possible to isolate diasteroisomers or enantiomers bearing a second chiral center other than rhenium.

Context: This research focuses on the theoretical study of six push-pull molecules composed of conjugated bridges based on porphyrin and metalloporphyrins where the metals used are Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II); these bridges are linked at their ends by acceptor groups (-NO) and donors (-N(CH)) at the meso positions of the cycles mentioned before. The CAM-B3LYP, M08HX, and MN15 functionals tend to describe well the systems studied in non-linear optics NLO in addition to the use of the basis set 6-31 + + G(d,p) which is considered to be the adequate and least expensive basis set. The highest values of the first static hyperpolarizabilities (β) are assigned to the two molecules 2A and 3A; the corresponding values are as follows: β (2A) = 46.
