Self-assembly of two distinct supramolecular motifs in a single crystalline framework

Copper(II) complexes based on dipyrromethene ligands self-assemble into molecular hexagons (green) and double-helical coordination polymers (blue and yellow) within the same crystalline lattice organized by the self-segregation of CF3 groups.

Fluorescent molecular photoswitch based on basket-shaped porphyrins

Here we present two novel basket-shaped porphyrins bridged by photochromic diarylethene derivatives, which show significant photoswitchable fluorescent properties. Their synthesis, structures, photochromism and fluorescence characteristics were reported in detail. They are desirable for reversible light-driven fluorescent molecular switches.

Synthesis of dipyrromethanes in aqueous media using boric acid

Boric acid acts as an efficient and green catalyst for the condensation reaction of pyrrole and aldehydes in aqueous medium to produce parallel library of dipyrromethanes including new compound analogue, meso-acetyldipyrromethane in moderate to good yield. The use of boric acid as catalyst and selective reactivity of aldehydes over ketones in its presence, and water as reaction medium are important attributes in the present protocol.
