Synthesis of a light-harvesting ruthenium porphyrin complex substituted with BODIPY units. Implications for visible light-promoted catalytic oxidations

Abstract

A light-harvesting ruthenium porphyrin substituted covalently with four boron-dipyrrin (BODIPY) moieties has been synthesized and studied. The resulting complex showed an efficient decarbonylation reaction predominantly due to a photo-induced energy...

The effect of light irradiation on a nitro-ruthenium porphyrin complex in the induced death of lung cancer cells in two- and three-dimensional cultures: Insights into the effect of nitric oxide

“…33,34 This process, commonly termed as Type II reaction, has extensive applications in various fields, notably in PDT, where the selective production of a singlet oxygen can induce photocytotoxicity in cancer cells. 35,36 The results from the evaluation of the cytotoxicity and photocytotoxicity effect of the complex RuNO 2 TPyP towards tumor lung cells (A549) and non-tumor lung cells (MRC-5) reveal that the complex presents high photocytotoxicity after light irradiation in a concentration and time-dependent manner in both cell lines. IC 50 values for complex RuNO 2 TPyP are 0.59 and 0.15 µM for the A549 cells after 4 and 24 h incubation (Fig.…”

Structural and electronic properties of Li-adsorbed single and bilayer porphyrin sheets as an electrode material for energy storage devices – a DFT analysis

“…Porphyrins have remarkable emission and absorption properties, which lead to their investigation in light harvesting and catalytic applications. [23][24][25][26] The use of porphyrin catalysts employing metal centres in molecular electro catalysis for oxygen reduction, 27 oxidation of CO 28 and adsorption of various molecules are studied. [29][30][31] Similarly, metalloporphyrins present several advantages compared to conventional catalysts, 32 and their highly porous structures enable their application in electrochemical energy devices.…”

Synthesis and photophysical properties of novel oxadiazole substituted BODIPY fluorophores

“…[26][27][28][29][30] In addition, a number of BODIPY derivatives have been conjugated as energy donors with porphyrin or metalloporphyrin acceptors. [31][32][33][34] The core structure of BODIPY can usually be accessed in two priority one-pot approaches. 35 Syntheses of symmetrical BODIPY dyes include sequential acid-catalyzed condensation of diverse a-unsubstituted pyrroles with aldehydes, oxidation and BF 2 complexation using BF 3 ÁOEt 2 under basic conditions.…”
