Supramolecular Porphyrin Assemblies: Photosynthetic Reaction Center Analogs and Porphyrin Networks
… is not transferring to the monomeric spacer porphyrin in high yield. Presumably, the DeltaG for this process is too unfavorable. Instead, the excited zirconium bis(porphyrin) sandwich complex simply returns to the ground state. One way to improve upon this system would be to make the bridging …

Actinide porphyrin complexes
The first bis(porphyrin)actinide complexes have been prepared by reaction of M(NEt$\sb2$)$\sb4$ (where M = Th, U) with H$\sb2$TPP or H$\sb2$OEP. The coordination geometry of (TPP)$\sb2$Th is a distorted square-prism where the thorium center is displaced 1.47 A from each of the porphyrin N$\sb4$ …

Transition metal bis(porphyrin) complexes
Metal bis(porphyrin) complexes M(porph)$\sb2$ have received much attention in the last ten years due to their electronic and structural similarities to the Special Pair in photosynthetic bacteria. The work presented here covers the first transition metal bis(porphyrin) complexes. In addition, the …

Calixarene Linked Bis-Porphyrin Hosts for Fullerenes and the Assembly of Supramolecular Ferrocene-Porphyrin-Fullerene Triads
Porphyrins and fullerenes are excellent substituents for the construction of photoactive assemblies due to their unique redox and photoelectronic properties. Upon irradiation these assemblies can undergo photoinduced electron transfer between the porphyrin donor and the fullerene acceptor, however …

Porphyrin metabolism in congenital erythropoietic porphyria
Meso-hydroxyuroporphyrin I, B-hydroxypropionic acid uroporphyrin I, hydroxyacetic acid uroporphyrin I and peroxyacetic acid uroporphyrin I have been isolated from the urine and plasma of patients with congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) by high-performance liquid chromatography and …

PORPHYRIN DERIVATIVES AS VERSATILE PROTEASOME MODULATORS
… for this use. It is known that cationic porphyrins behave as proteasome inhibitors and their potency depends on the number of positive charges. During this PhD study, we have worked towards a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the interactions between …

Supramolecular porphyrin arrays on DNA and SWNT scaffolds
A variety of supramolecular porphyrin arrays on DNA or single walled carbon nanotube scaffolds are presented herein. A novel porphyrin modified nucleoside with multiple degrees of freedom about the linking moiety has been synthesised. Oligonucleotide strands containing the novel ‘flexible’ …

Porphyrin-DNA as scaffold for nanoarchitecture and nanotechnology
Porphyrins, a substance class that can be found in diverse materials including green leaves and red blood cells, have been studied extensively over many years due to their potential industrial applications, e.g. in making optical electronic devices, in artificial photosynthesis or in sensors. In …

Apoptosis and porphyrin biosynthesis by a photodynamic chemotherapeutic
… causes transformed cells to accumulate protoporphyrin IX (Proto). Subsequent exposure to light in vitro causes intracellular Proto to initiate formation of singlet oxygen molecules, leading to self-destruction. This photo-activated destruction by ALA is enhanced by addition of the …

Porphyrin chemistry pertaining to the design of anticancer agents
… cells, especially toward hypoxic tumor cells. Porphyrin drugs used in photodynatnic therapy (PDT) have good selectivity (in term of drug accumulation) toward tumors, but the therapy has a limitation due to poor penetration of light through tissues. The initial objective of this thesis work was …
