Axial coordination in nickel(II) porphyrins has been thoroughly investigated and is well understood. However, isolated five-coordinate nickel(II) porphyrins are still elusive after 50 years of intense research, even though they play a crucial role as intermediates in enzymes and catalysts. Herein we present the first fully stable, thoroughly characterized five-coordinate nickel(II) porphyrin in solution and in the solid state (crystal structure). The spectroscopic properties indicate pure high-spin behavior ( = 1). There are distinct differences in the NMR, UV-vis, and redox behavior compared to those of high-spin six-coordinate [with two axial ligands, such as NiTPPF·(py)] and low-spin four-coordinate (NiTPPF) nickel(II) porphyrins. The title compound, a strapped nickel(II) porphyrin, allows a direct comparison of four-, five-, and six-coordinate nickel(II) porphyrins, depending on the environment. With this reference in hand, previous results were reevaluated, for example, the switching efficiencies and thermodynamic data of nickel(II) porphyrin-based spin switches in solution.

Conjugated polymers have revolutionized the field of conductometric gas sensors for sensing toxic gases arising from the fast urbanization and industrialization. In this work, we report the synthesis of a series of 5,15-diaryl Ni(II) porphyrin-conjugated polymers () and their integration as the top layer on an octafluorinated copper phthalocyanine () sublayer to construct bilayer heterojunction (BLH) devices for ammonia sensing. For the first time, we report the pioneering demonstration of polarity engineering within a BLH device by manipulating the -substituent of the 5,15-diaryl Ni(II) porphyrin-conjugated polymer constituting the top layer of the BLH device.

Polydisperse edge-fused nickel(II) porphyrin nanoribbons have been synthesized by Yamamoto coupling followed by gold(III)-mediated fusion, with average degrees of polymerization of up to 37 repeat units (length 31 nm). Time-resolved optical-pump terahertz spectroscopy measurements indicate that photo-generated charge carriers have dc mobilities of up to 205 cm V s in these nanoribbons, exceeding the values previously reported for most other types of nanoribbon or π-conjugated polymer.

Herein, we report the reaction between four 1,2-dibromoxylenes and two tetra-3-pyridylporphyrins for the formation of a cofacial porphyrin core spanned by dipyridinium xylene moieties. The metal-free organic nanocage (oNC) was synthesized in one twenty-four h step at a gram-scale with a 91.5% yield.

Microporous molecular crystals are promising materials because of their designable porosity as well as their resistance to chemical and other stimuli. Here, we developed microporous molecular cocrystals by taking advantage of the specific interactions between porphyrins and fullerene molecules. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that one nickel(II) porphyrin interacts with two fullerene molecules to form a two-dimensional honeycomb network with an eclipsed stacking mode, providing one-dimensional void channels.

Porphyrin-based molecular catalysts possess a typical aromatic macrocyclic structure regarding their metal centers and coordination frameworks, allowing for the development of promising electrocatalysts through precise selection of the metal and porphyrin ligand. However, reports on metalloporphyrins as catalysts for the electrocatalytic urea oxidation reaction (UOR) remain scarce. With these considerations in mind, the triphenylamine-Ni(II) porphyrin (NiPor-TPA) was synthesized through the solvothermal approach from 5,10,15,20-tetrakis [4-(diphenylamino)phenyl]porphyrin and nickel(II) acetate in this work.
