Abstract The use of VIV and CuII spins to design weakly coupled and dissymmetric spin systems has been examined. Such systems were synthesized using porphyrin-based complexes, with external coordination sites allowing for the formation of dimers via a PdII linker ion. Continuous-wave (CW) Electron…
Abstract A bipyridine-strapped porphyrin was prepared using a remote template effect of alkali or transition metal cations in the bipyridine subunit to enhance the yield 10-fold. The flexibility of the bipyridine-strap also allowed the synthesis of a doubly strapped porphyrin.
Abstract Six- and seven-membered cyclic hydroxamic acids are found as terminal binding units in different families of siderophores, including exochelins and mycobactins. The simplest models of these preorganized chelating ligands were known, but their coordination chemistry with Fe3+, the target…
Abstract: This article covers 50 years of coordination chemistry of transition metal complexes and metal-sulfur aggregates involving thiolate-incorporating ligands by reviewing selected examples. The studies in the coordination chemistry of sulfur-rich ligands have been undoubtedly triggered and…
Abstract We report the synthesis of new vanadyl porphyrins bearing peripheral coordination sites. By using palladium(II) or platinum(II) as connecting ions, porphyrin dimers were isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. These paramagnetic species were studied by electronic spectroscopy…
Abstract Biphenol-based ligands have proven their ability to bind titanium(IV) centers and generate sophisticated self-assembled structures in which auxiliary nitrogen ligands often complete the coordination sphere of the metal and improve stability. Here, a central 4,4′-bipyridine, which acts as…
Abstract The preparation of several covalently linked [6]-helicene-porphyrins is reported. A fused [6]-helicene-porphyrin π-extended aromatic system was isolated, the enantiomers separated and the chiroptical properties determined. The oxidative cyclodehydrogenation proved to be very effective for…
Summary Chiral gold(I) acetylide trinuclear complexes 1 - 3 based on the cyclotribenzylene platform and terminal PR3 ligands (R = Ph, Et, and Cy, respectively), were characterized and their light emission studied. They exhibited long-lived blue phosphorescence in CHCl3 and a weak fluorescence in…

Abstract Winning combo: Porphyrins and polyoxometalates can be combined into useful architectures for energy conversion, this minireview highlights the most successful strategies developed to date.
Summary A series of porphyrin dimers have been prepared and characterized in order to form inclusion complexes with Lindqvist-type polyoxometallates. The synthesis of the porphyrin dimer has been optimized and can serve general purposes. The formation of inclusion complexes has been monitored using…
Abstract Single-molecule junctions (SMJs) have been fabricated using layers generated by diazonium electroreduction. This process creates a C–Au covalent bond between the molecule and the electrode. Rigid oligomers of variable length, based on porphyrin derivatives in their free base or cobalt…
Abstract Commercial 4,4′-bipyridine is a popular scaffold that is primarily employed as a linker in 3D self-assembled architectures such as metallo-organic frameworks or as a connector in 2D networks. The introduction of alkyl substituents on the bipyridine skeleton is instrumental when…
Abstract The deeply buried, yet most important part of any spintronic device is the interface. This is even more interesting and much more complex when soft, light materials like organic molecules are in contact with an inorganic metallic electrode. Hence, exceptional care is required to better…
Abstract The synthesis of a series of novel tetra-(benzo-24-crown-8)-phthalocyanines (Mg(II), Ni(II) and Co(II)) as well as a modified procedure for the free-base ligand and its Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes are reported. The tendency of these phthalocyanines to undergo supramolecular cofacial…
Abstract Physical properties of magnetic nanostructures and devices strongly depend on the morphological characteristics of their various components. This is especially true and becomes particularly complex in hybrid nanostructures, where soft organic molecules are at the vicinity of ferromagnetic…
Abstract The association of hydrophobic cavities with porphyrin derivatives has been used to mimic hemoprotein structures. The most employed cavity in this field is the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and scaffolds combining β-CDs and porphyrins are expected to inspire the combination of porphyrins and…
Abstract : Nanostructures were built at the solid/liquid interface by self-assembly and/or coordination bonds. Metalloporphyrins bearing two external coordination sites and long alkyl chains allowed the self-assembly of the compounds on highly oriented pyrolitic graphite. After addition of a metal…
Abstract We present the synthesis of novel rotaxanes based on mechanically interlocked porphyrins and fullerene and their advanced investigations by means of photophysical measurements. To this end, a fullerene-capped dumbbell-type axle containing a central triazole was threaded through strapped…
Abstract Functionalization of a methylviologen with four methyl ester substituents significantly facilitates the first two reduction steps. The easily generated radical cation shows markedly improved air stability compared to the parent methylviologen, making this derivative of interest in organic…
