Article Abstract
A dendrimer with rigid branched terminal components was prepared by a copper-catalyzed Hüisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. A zinc 5,15-diethynyl-10,20-bis(3,5-di- tert-butylphenyl)porphyrin unit was incorporated at the core of the dendrimer as a receptor site for an added pyridyl ligand. The appearance of an absorption band characteristic of the planar conformer of conjugated chains in the terminal components suggested that the dendrimer adopts a folded higher order structure in dichloromethane at 25 °C. The binding constant between the zinc porphyrin core and a pyridyl ligand was evaluated by means of UV-vis absorption titration and compared with that of a suitable reference compound. The incorporation of the zinc porphyrin core into the folded dendrimer led to considerable suppression of its ligand-binding ability.

Phosphorus(V)-centered porphyrins (P(V)-porphyrins) are an important class of functional dyes in many fields of research, and axial ligands on the phosphorus atom affect the electronic properties of P(V)-porphyrins and add functions. Herein, we report on the synthesis and characterization of a hitherto unknown P(V)-porphyrin having hydrogen atoms as axial ligands (1·PF , PF is a counter anion). Synthesis of 1·PF was achieved by treatment of dichloro-derivative (2·Cl) with LiAlH followed by AgPF via hydride reduction accompanied by one-electron reduction and one-electron oxidation.

Numerous cellular and animal studies demonstrated the ability of redox-active Mn(III) -alkyl- and -alkoxyalkylpyridyporphyrins (MnPs) to protect normal tissue while suppressing tumor growth. The mechanism primarily involves the modulation of NF-кB and Nrf2 signaling pathways via catalysis of MnP/HO-driven protein thiol oxidation. Such differential protection/suppression effects have paved the way of Mn porphyrins (commonly known as mimics of superoxide dismutase) into clinical trials, therefore introducing new line of therapeutics that are affecting cellular redox status/oxidative stress, rather than specific proteins.

Hole transport materials (HTMs) are instrumental in determining the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Consequently, it is essential to develop suitable HTMs that can effectively facilitate hole extraction and transport within PSCs. In this study, we conducted theoretical investigations utilizing quantum chemistry methods on the promising HTM molecule YZT1, which features a diacetylene-based Zn porphyrin as its core moiety and dibutyl aniline as the donor moiety on either side.

De novo protein design has been used to create functional protein assemblies, but its reliance on standard amino acids limits the integration of synthetic supramolecular strategies for precise control of molecular assemblies. Herein, an artificial protein assembly that integrates synthetic supramolecular design with de novo protein engineering is presented. Focusing on unit and connection rigidity, the Bi-Porphyrin Acquisition Designer protein (BiPAD), which captures two synthetic porphyrin molecules via state-of-the-art generative protein design to fuse α/β-folded porphyrin-binding motifs, is designed and created.
