Surface-confined formation of conjugated porphyrin-based nanostructures on Ag(111)
(2021)Porphyrin-based oligomers were synthesized from the condensation of adsorbed 4-benzaldehyde-substituted porphyrins through the formation of C[double bond, length as m-dash]C linkages, following a McMurry-type coupling ... -
Enantioselective Discrimination of Histidine by Means of an Achiral Cubane-Bridged Bis-Porphyrin
(2021)A Langmuir film of cubane-bridged bisporphyrin (H2por-cubane-H2por) at the air/water interface was developed and characterized. The floating film was successfully employed for the chiral discrimination between l- and ... -
Thiourea organocatalysts as emerging chiral pollutants: En route to porphyrin-based (chir)optical sensing
(2021)Environmental pollution with chiral organic compounds is an emerging problem requiring innovative sensing methods. Amino-functionalized thioureas, such as 2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thiourea ... -
