A series of five push-pull porphyrazines of A B type, in which unit B is an isoindole 4-carboxylic acid, has been prepared. The units A have been endowed with thioether, amine, ether and alkyl functions, either directly attached to the β-position of the pyrrolic units, or connected to the porphyrazine core through p-substituted phenyl groups. Attaching the electron-donor functions to the porphyrazine periphery produces strong perturbations in the electronic and redox properties of the dyes. Their HOMO and LUMO energies, estimated from the optical and redox data, as well as with DFT calculations, raise upon functionalization with amines, while the corresponding frontier orbital energetic levels lower upon functionalization with thioethers, p-methoxyphenyl or p-tert-butylphenyl groups. The effective interaction of peripheral substitution with the macrocycle produces chromophores with panchromatic absorption between 300 and 750-850 nm.

Constructing artificial photocatalysts with panchromatic solar energy utilization remains an appealing challenge. Herein, two complementary photosensitizers, [Ru(bpy)] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and porphyrin dyes, have been cosensitized in metal covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs), resulting in the MCOFs with strong light absorption covering the full visible spectrum. Under panchromatic light irradiation, the cosensitized MCOFs exhibited remarkable photocatalytic H evolution with an optimum rate of up to 33.

The photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO) represents an attractive approach for solar-energy storage and leads to the production of renewable fuels and valuable chemicals. Although some osmium (Os) photosensitizers absorb long wavelengths in the visible-light region, a self-photosensitized, mononuclear Os catalyst for red-light-driven CO reduction has not yet been exploited. Here, we discovered that the introduction of an Os metal to a PNNP-type tetradentate ligand resulted in the absorption of light with longer-wavelength (350-700 nm) and that can be applied to a panchromatic self-photosensitized catalyst for CO reduction to give mainly carbon monoxide (CO) with a total turnover number (TON) of 625 under photoirradiation (λ≥400 nm).

Article Synopsis
- Porphyrins are aromatic compounds useful for solar energy applications, but their ability to absorb sunlight effectively is limited by a large optical energy gap.
- By fusing porphyrins with nanographenes, researchers can reduce this energy gap, allowing for the creation of panchromatic dyes that can more efficiently convert solar energy.
- Advanced techniques, like time-dependent density functional theory, show that this combination enhances the formation of certain triplet states, which could improve interactions with electron scavenging materials in solar technologies.

Article Synopsis
- A new photosensitizer, called 1-WS55, is developed using two efficient dyes: azulenocyanine and WS55, which exhibit broad NIR absorption and significant photoelectric conversion efficiency.
- The dyad shows strong panchromatic absorption with intense bands in the NIR and visible range, enhancing its ability to harvest solar energy.
- Calculations indicate that the interaction with TiO surface is effective, resulting in high charge mobility and making 1-WS55 a promising candidate for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
