The attachment of silver(I) cations to 5,7,12,14-tetraphenyl-6,13-diazapentacene and its reduced dihydro-form has been studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The structure elucidation of the Ag complexes has been accomplished in gas-phase collision experiments in conjunction with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The oxidized form provides a favourable cavity for the Ag ion, leading to the [1 : 1] complex with the highest resilience towards dissociation and severely hindering the attainment of a second molecular ligand. When the nitrogen is hydrogenated in the reduced dihydro-form, the cavity is partly blocked. This leads to a less strongly bound [1 : 1] complex ion but facilitates the attachment of a second molecular ligand to the Ag. The resulting complex is the most stable among the [2 : 1] complexes. DFT calculations provide valuable insight into the geometries of the complex ions. Adding silver(I) to the reduced dihydro-form for cationization also induces its oxidation in solution. The oxidative dehydrogenation reaction, for which a mechanism is proposed, proceeds by first order kinetics and is markedly accelerated by day light.

Ortho substituted octaazaperopyrenes (OAPPs) are a new class of functional dyes characterized by their strong electron-accepting behavior. Herein, the synthesis, as well as the electrochemical and photo physical properties of an OAPP dye, is reported. The OAPP target was prepared via selective nucleophilic substitution at the peri position of a bay chlorinated tetraazaperylene by introduction of four amino-substituents.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second common neurodegenerative disorder. Deficit of the nigro-striatal dopaminergic neurons causes the motor symptoms of PD. While the oxidative stress is thought to be deeply involved in the etiology of PD, molecular targets for the oxidative insults has not been fully elucidated.

Sanguinarine is a benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid with interesting cytotoxic properties, such as induction of oxidative DNA damage and very rapid apoptosis, which is not mediated by p53-dependent signaling. It has been previously documented that sanguinarine is reduced with NADH even in absence of any enzymes while being converted to its dihydro form. We found that the dark blue fluorescent species, observed during sanguinarine reduction with NADH and misinterpreted by Matkar et al.

The mechanism of photocatalytic reduction of 1-benzylnicotinamidium cation (BNA(+)) to the 1,4-dihydro form (1,4-BNAH) using [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(L)](2+) (Ru-L(2+), where tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, and L = pyridine and MeCN) as a photocatalyst and NEt(3) as a reductant has been clarified. On the basis of this mechanistic study, an efficient and durable photocatalytic system for selective hydride reduction of an NAD(P)(+) model compound has been developed. The photocatalytic reaction is initiated by the formation of [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(NEt(3))](2+) (Ru-NEt(3)(2+)) via the photochemical ligand substitution of Ru-L(2+).
