The chiral properties of nickel(II) complexes of porphyrin-porphyrin Tröger's base and porphyrin-chlorin spiro-Tröger's base with phenyl or 3-methoxyphenyl substitutions in their meso-positions were studied. Enantioseparation of racemic mixtures was investigated via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on an analytical ReproSil Chiral-NR column. The optimal conditions were utilized for a multimilligram scale isolation with a semipreparative column. The purity of the isolated enantiomers was determined by HPLC and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The absolute configurations of the isolated enantiomers were determined by evaluating the Cotton effect in electronic circular dichroism spectra. The determination was supported by TDDFT calculations, in which good agreement was achieved between the experimental and simulated spectra. The maximum molar ellipticity values, [θ] given in deg ∙ cm ∙ dmol, were [θ] = 1.73 ∙ 10 for phenyl spiroTB and [θ] = 1.24 ∙ 10 and [θ] = 2.15 ∙ 10 for 3-methoxyphenyl TB and spiroTB, respectively.

The interaction of square-planar metal complexes through space is of fundamental interest and relevant for the potential cooperative catalysis of two metal complex sites. In order to elucidate gold/gold, gold/porphyrin, and porphyrin/porphyrin interactions in the formal oxidation states +III and +II (after reduction) and in the excited triplet state after light excitation, a Pacman bis(gold(III)) complex [Au(DPD)][PF] with square-planar face-to-face gold(porphyrin) moieties has been prepared and characterized. Absorption and luminescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and EPR spectroscopy on [Au(DPD)] and a mononuclear reference are complemented by DFT and TDDFT calculations.

We recently reported a new technique, light-induced triplet-triplet electron resonance (LITTER) spectroscopy, which allows quantification of the dipolar interaction between the photogenerated triplet states of two chromophores. Here we carry out a systematic LITTER study, considering orientation selection by the detection pulses, of a series of bis-porphyrin model peptides with different porphyrin-porphyrin distances and relative orientations. Orientation-dependent analysis of the dipolar datasets yields conformational information of the molecules in frozen solution which is in good agreement with density functional theory predictions.

Photoelectronically conductive self-assembling peptide-porphyrin assemblies have great potential in their use as biomaterials, owing largely to their environmentally responsive properties. We have successfully designed a coiled-coil peptide that can self-assemble to form mesoscale filaments and serve as a scaffold for porphyrin interaction. In our earlier work, peptide-porphyrin-based biomaterials were formed at neutral pH, but the structures were irregular at the nano- to microscale size range, as judged by atomic force microscopy.

Self-assembled molecular thin films of melamine-bridged bis-porphyrin dyad, both in free form, P(H2)P(H2), or as Zn(II) metallated complex, P(Zn)P(Zn), were deposited on crystalline Si(100) by soaking or drop-casting techniques. The influence of the adopted preparation methodology, the substrate surface pre-activation procedure and the used solvent (THF or CHCl3) on the morphology and surface coverage of the resulting films was investigated by FE-SEM (Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy). The chemical composition and electronic structure of the most promising systems were also addressed by XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy).
