The zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP)- and zinc tetrasodiumtetra(p-sulphonatophenyl)porphyrin (ZnTPPS)-sensitized photodebromination of 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropionic acid (1) in the presence of a sacrificial reductant yielding cinnamic acid has been studied in cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micellar solution.The photosensitized electron transfer and the resultant debromination are significantly affected by the solubilizing sites of sensitizer and dibromide (1) in the micelle.The debromination proceeds most efficiently when the anionic sensitizer and (1) are adsorbed on the cationic micellar surface.The overall efficiency is controlled mostly by the back electron transfer rather than the forward one, which is competitive with the subsequent debromination steps.The cationic micellar surface is effective for the electron-transfer debromination when both or either of the sensitizers is anionically charged.

Eleven lanthanide compounds [Y(cinn)3] (1), [La(cinn) 3] (2), [La(4-OMecinn)3]·2H2O (3), [La(4-Clcinn)3]·2H2O (4), [La(4-OMephac) 3]·4H2O (5), [La(4-Clphac)3] ·3H2O (6), [Ce(cinn)3] (7), [Nd(cinn)3] (8), [Sm(cinn)3]·H2O (9), [Yb(cinn)3] (10) and [Sm(4-OMephac)3]·H2O (11) containing carboxylato ligands (cinn = cinnamate; 4-OMecinn = 4-methoxicinnamate; Clcinn = 4-chlorocinnamate; 4-OMephac = 4-methoxyphenylacetate; 4-Clphac = 4-chlorophenylacetate) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction powder patterns. In addition, compound 11 was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The cytotoxic activity of these complexes has been tested against three different human tumour cell lines HL60 (human promyelocytic leukemia), K562 (human erythromyeloblastoid leukemia) and MCF7 (breast cancer), observing a very modest cytotoxic activity for all tested compounds. In addition, toxicity tests to macrophages and erythrocytes have also been carried out, observing that none of the compounds is toxic against these immunocompetent cells. Finally, all the synthesized compounds have been tested as catalysts for styrene oxidation observing conversions higher than 50% after 19 h of reaction as well as a relatively high selectivity to two main products benzaldehyde (BzA) and 1-phenylethane-1,2-diol (PhED). Complex 7 presents the higher conversion (99.56%) with a relatively high selectivity towards PhED of 72.07%.
