Published: November 1998

Up to 14 porphyrin rings are present in the title compounds 1, which are readily available with high regioselectivity from linear nickel-zinc porphyrins. Upon irradiation with light a rapid energy transfer from the peripheral porphyrin rings to the diporphyrin core takes place.

The magnetization and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of a 5CB nematic liquid crystal doped three extracts containing chlorophylls a and b and carotenoids in different weight percentage has been studied. The extracts have been dissolved in the liquid crystal matrix at a concentration of 2%. The magnetic susceptibility of the substances has been measured by the Faraday-Curie balance method.

In this study, the catalytic potential of two representative covalent organic frameworks (COFs), COF-366 and Pc-PBBA COF, was investigated in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Transition metal atoms (Fe or Co) were incorporated into the center of porphyrin or phthalocyanine rings to form Fe(Co)-N-C single-atom catalysts, which can catalyze the ORR with overpotentials between 0.49 V and 0.

On-surface synthesis of functional molecular structures provides a route to the fabrication of materials tailored to exhibit bespoke catalytic, (opto)electronic, and magnetic properties. The fabrication of graphene nanoribbons via on-surface synthesis, where reactive precursor molecules are combined to form extended polymeric structures, provides quasi-1D graphitic wires that can be doped by tuning the properties/composition of the precursor molecules. Here, we combine the atomic precision of solution-phase synthetic chemistry with on-surface protocols to enable reaction steps that cannot yet be achieved in solution.

Three-arm polyrotaxanes with multidirectional molecular motions as the nanocarrier for nitric oxide-enhanced photodynamic therapy against bacterial biofilms in septic arthritis.

Bacterial biofilms are one of the major contributors to the refractoriness of septic arthritis. Although nitric oxide (NO)-enhanced photodynamic (PDT) therapy has been involved in biofilm eradication, the anti-biofilm efficacy is usually hindered by the short half-life and limited diffusion distance of active molecules. Herein, we report a three-arm structure using the photosensitive core chlorin e6 to integrate three α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) polyrotaxane chains as the supramolecular nanocarrier of NO-enhanced PDT therapy, in which NO was loaded on the cationic rings (α-CDs).
