Herein we report an investigation into the synthesis, metalation, and functionalization of bis-pocket porphyrins using the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Steric limitations to accessing bis-pocket porphyrins were overcome by using this Pd-catalyzed C-C-bond-forming strategy to introduce steric bulk macrocyclization: 2,6-dibromo-4-trimethylsilybenzaldehyde was condensed with pyrrole, and a variety of boronic acids were coupled to the resulting porphyrin in up to 95% yield. Furthermore, we show that these porphyrins can be metalated with a variety of metals and sulfonated to create water-soluble bis-pocket porphyrins.

Carbon monoxide poisoning: A problem uniquely suited to a medicinal inorganic chemistry solution.

J Inorg Biochem

February 2024

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, California 95064, United States.. Electronic address:

Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the most common forms of poisoning in the world. Although the primary mode of treatment, oxygen therapy, is highly effective in many cases, there are instances in which it is inadequate or inappropriate. Whereas oxygen therapy relies on high levels of a low-affinity ligand (O) to displace a high-affinity ligand (CO) from metalloproteins, an antidote strategy relies on introducing a molecule with a higher affinity for CO than native proteins (K > K).

C-H Activation by an Iron-Nitrido Bis-Pocket Porphyrin Species.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

February 2021

State Key Laboratory of Synthetic Chemistry and Department of Chemistry, The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong, China.

High-valent iron-nitrido species are nitrogen analogues of iron-oxo species which are versatile reagents for C-H oxidation. Nonetheless, C-H activation by iron-nitrido species has been scarcely explored, as this is often hampered by their instability and short lifetime in solutions. Herein, the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactivity of an Fe porphyrin nitrido species (2 c) toward C-H substrates was studied in solutions at room temperature, which was achieved by nanosecond laser flash photolysis (LFP) of its Fe -azido precursor (1 c) supported by a bulky bis-pocket porphyrin ligand.

A one-pot synthesis of bulky bis-pocket A₃B-type -cyano porphyrin, 5-cyano-10,15,20-tris(2,4,6-triphenylphenyl)porphyrin, has been accomplished via trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) catalyzed condensation of pyrrole and 2,4,6-triphenylbenzaldehyde in an acceptable yield of about 4%. DDQ served as oxidant and the cyanating agent.
