An olefination approach to the construction of covalently linked cyclic metalloporphyrin trimers is presented using fullerenes such as C(60) or C(70) as a template. Yields of the trimer approach 60%. In the absence of a template, the major product is the cyclic dimer (50% yield) with only a small amount of trimer (<10%) formed, indicating this is a template-directed approach.

A change for the better: Exchange of Cd(II) in the catalytically inactive framework MMPF-5 (see scheme) with Co(II) afforded a metalloporphyrin-based nanoreactor, MMPF-5(Co). This framework, consisting of small cubicuboctahedral cages, demonstrated interesting performances in the catalytic epoxidation of trans-stilbene with tBuOOH.

The influence of different metalloporphyrin derivatives on the antimalarial activity of artemisinin was studied with two chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum (FcB1-Colombia and FcM29-Cameroon) cultured in human erythrocytes. This potentiation study indicates that the manganese complex of meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin has a significant synergistic effect on the acti...

The phosphorescent metalloporphyrin sensitizer PtTPTNP (TPTNP = tetraphenyltetranaphtho[2,3]porphyrin) has been successfully coupled with perylenediimide (PDI) or rubrene utilized as triplet acceptors/annihilators to upconvert 690 nm incident photons into yellow fluorescence through sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation at overall efficiencies in the 6-7% range while exhibiting exceptional ph...

This study proposed a facile method to detect metalloporphyrin-based coordination polymer particles (Z-CPPs) in aqueous solution by modified surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The SERS-active particles are photodeposited on the surface of Z-CPPs, offering an enhanced Raman signal for the trace detection of Z-CPPs.
