We fabricated photoelectron conversion system with porphyrin-terminated “molecular wires” on an ITO surface synthesized using stepwise metal–terpyridine complexation reactions. The efficiency and the electrode potential singnificantly depended on the metal center of the bis(terpyridine) complex unit in the molecular wire.

A novel polymer support has been prepared in which functional link points are located on the surface of polymer nano-beads; the use of the support has been demonstrated in the syntheses of unsymmetrical porphyrins. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Cadmium selenide quantum dots of 2.2-2.3 nm diameter were prepared by phosphorus-free methods using oleic acid as stabilizing surface ligand. Ligand exchange monitored quantitatively by H-1 NMR. spectroscopy gave an estimate of 30-38 monodentate ligands per nanocrystal, with a ligand density of 1.8-2.3 nm(-2). The extent of ligand exchange with macrocycles carrying one or more functional groups was investigated, with the aim of producing nanocrystal-macrocycle conjugates With a limited number of coligands. Metal-free porphyrins are able to sequester the Cd2+ ions, from the Cd(oleate)(2) outer layer of the nanocrystals. Zinc porphyrin complexes carrying one carboxylate function displace oleate efficiently to give porphyrin/CdSe composites with porphyrins stacked upright on the crystal surface. Porphyrins with four potential ligating sites are able to bind to the crystal surface only if the donors are at the end of sufficiently long and flexible tethers. High-dilution methods allowed the synthesis and isolation of well-defined composites of composition [CdSeporphyrin}(2)], where porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetrakis3-(carboxy-n-alkyloxy)phenyl}porphyrinato zinc (n = 5 or 10) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis3-(11-undecenyloxythiol)phenyl}porphyrinato zinc. Comparison of the composition data obtained by H-1 NMR spectroscopy with luminescence quenching behavior suggests a dependence of quenching efficiency On the tether length. Luminescence quenching was also observed for porphyrins that, according to H-1 NMR results, do not undergo surface ligand exchange.

The synthesis and the characterization of a series of novel symmetric double length alkyl-chained sulfanyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles functionalized with a polyether head group are reported. In addition, surface characterization studies were conducted on the metal surface of these synthesized compounds. The metal surfaces were characterized by contact angle measurements via the sessile-drop method, and 3D images of the metal surface were obtained using an optical profilometer. The surface studies showed that the inhibitor molecule increases the hydrophobic character and decreases the wettability of the metal surface.

New amphiphilic alkoxyarylporphyrins with long-chain substituents bearing carboxy, methoxycarbonyl and hydroxy groups, and their metal complexes, were synthesized. Those of them having mesogenic properties were identified by optical polarisation microscopy, and their liquid-crystal properties were studied.
