A phosphorus(v) complex of porphycene [P(OEPc)(OMe)]PF (OEPc = 2,3,6,7,12,13,16,17-octaethylporphycenato dianion) has been synthesized and structurally characterized as the first porphycene derivative incorporating nonmetal elements in the macrocyclic cavity. An extremely low energy level of the LUMO is observed, which is rationalized by the low-lying π* orbital of the porphycene ring coupled with the insertion of the highly-inductive pentavalent phosphorus centre. The compound is luminescent in bright red with a quantum yield of 22.7% in CHCl at 298 K.

We report the extension of the common β-diketimine proligand class, nacnacH (HC(RCNAr)H), where R is an alkyl group such as Et or iPr, plus Ph, and Ar is a sterically demanding aryl substituent such as Dip = 2,6-diispropylphenyl, Dep = 2,6-diethylphenyl, Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl or mesityl, Xyl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl, one-pot condensation procedures. When a condensation reaction is carried out using the chemical dehydrating agent PPSE (polyphosphoric acid trimethylsilylester), β-diketiminate phosphorus(V) products such as (nacnac)PO can also be obtained, which can be converted to the respective proligand nacnacH alkaline hydrolysis. The nacnacH proligands can be converted to their alkali metal complexes with common methods and we have found that deprotonation of nacnacH is significantly more sluggish than that of related β-diketimines with smaller backbone alkyl groups.

An axial-connecting trimer of the porphyrin phosphorus(V) complex was synthesized to evaluate the relaxation process of the photoexcited state and the photosensitizer activity. The photoexcitation energy was localized on the central unit of the phosphorus(V)porphyrin trimer. The photoexcited state of the central unit was relaxed through a process similar to that of the monomer phosphorus(V)porphyrin.

Two new trimethoxyl AB triaryl corroles 10-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)- corrole (1) and 10-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-corrole (2) and their gallium(III) and phosphorus(V) (1-Ga, 1-P, 2-Ga and 2-P) complexes had been prepared and well characterized by UV-vis, NMR and HR-MS. Among all compounds, 2-Ga, 1-P and 2-P showed excellent in vivo photodynamic activity against the MDA-MB-231, A549, Hela and HepG2 cell lines upon light irradiation at 625 nm. And 2-P even exhibited higher phototoxicity than the clinical photosensitizer temoporfin.

Stereochemically pure phosphines with phosphorus-heteroatom bonds and P-centered chirality are a promising class of functional building blocks for the design of chiral ligands and organocatalysts. A route to enantiomerically pure primary aminophosphine sulfides was opened through stereospecific reductive C-N bond cleavage of phosphorus(V) precursors by lithium in liquid ammonia. The chemoselectivity of the reaction as a function of reaction time, substrate pattern, and chiral auxiliary was investigated.

The economical consideration of using an electrocatalyst in energy-related field, composed of non-precious/sustainable elements is quite noteworthy. In this work, the phosphorus(V) complex of tris-(pentafluorophenyl)corrole [(TPFC)P (OH) ] was reported as electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The electrochemical studies revealed that the HER experienced a ECEC pathway (E: electron transfer step, C: chemical step), and the possible intermediate [P ]-H species was suggested.
