A Stable Hyponitrite-Bridged Iron Porphyrin Complex

Ethynylene - bridged Porphyrin Fluorene Composites

Porphyrin-fluorene conjugates bridged by ethynylene were synthesized through Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. These molecules showed strong nonlinear absorption when measured using a nanosecond Z-scan method. The largest effective two-photon absorption cross-section was observed for trisporphyrin as 2.7 × 105 GM at 760 nm, which was 10 times larger than that obtained for monoporphyrin. INT...

Characterization of the bridged hyponitrite complex {[Fe(OEP)](2)(μ-N(2)O(2))}: reactivity of hyponitrite complexes and biological relevance.

The detoxification of nitric oxide (NO) by bacterial NO reductase (NorBC) represents a paradigm of how NO can be detoxified anaerobically in cells. In order to elucidate the mechanism of this enzyme, model complexes provide a convenient means to assess potential reaction intermediates. In particular, there have been many proposed mechanisms that invoke the formation of a hyponitrite bridge betw...

Porphyrin dimers bridged by an electrochemically switchable unit.

In the past decade much effort has been devoted to the synthesis and studies of molecular systems comprising porphyrin units bridged by well-defined p-conjugated spacers at the mesoor b-positions. These conjugated oligoporphyrin systems are expected to have potential applications in molecular wires and electronic devices due to their unique optical, physical, and chemical properties. Photophysi...

Re(I) bridged porphyrin dyads, triads and tetrads

Abstract. Porphyrin rings containing two meso-pyridyl groups either in cis or trans fashion can be used to construct Re(I) bridged multiporphyrin assemblies. The cis-dipyridyl porphyrins with various porphyrin cores such as N4, N3O, N3S, N2S2 have been used to react with Re(CO)5Cl in THF at refluxing temperature and constructed planar Re(I) bridged porphyrin dyads containing either one type of ...
