Self-assembly and self-metallization of porphyrin nanosheets
Wang, Zhongchun,Li, Zhiyong,Medforth, Craig J.,Shelnutt, John A.
, p. 2440 - 2441 (2007)
Square porphyrin nanosheets with uniform thickness (7-12 nm) and aspect ratios up to 100 have been synthesized for the first time using a reprecipitation method. They retain the photocatalytic activity of the precursor molecules and can be self-metallized with Pt, Pd, and Au. Their unique morphology, photocatalytic properties, and large surface areas suggest potential applications in photo- and electrocatalysis, sensing, as components for optoelectronic nanodevices, and solar energy capture and conversion.

Design and synthesis of Sn-porphyrin based molecular gates

, p. 1872 - 1883 (2010/05/01)
The design, synthesis, and structural characterization, both in solution by 1H NMR and in the solid state by X-ray diffraction on single crystals, of a series of molecular gates based on Sn-porphyrin derivatives are presented. The molecular systemis based on a porphyrin core bearing at the meso positions either phenyl or pyridyl groups as a stator, octahedral Sn(IV) cation located at the center of the porphyrin as a hinge, and different handles connected to the porphyrin through Sn-O axial bonds. The stability of the complexes in the presence of different acids is also reported.
A molecular gate based on a porphyrin and a silver lock

, p. 2935 - 2937 (2008/02/10)
A Sn(IV) metallaporphyrin bearing a 4-pyridyl group on one meso position and a handle equipped also with a pyridyl unit functions in solution as a molecular gate in the presence of silver cation: the complexation-decomplexation of Ag(i) corresponds to the
