Control of the axial coordination of a surface-confined manganese (III) porphyrin complex.
(2012)The organisation and thermal lability of chloro(5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato)manganese(III) (Cl- MnTPP) molecules on the Ag(111) surface have been investigated under ultra-high-vaccum conditions, using scanning ... -
Photochemical Transformations Involving Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines
(CRC Press, 2012)Photochemistry of the porphyrins and their relatives has been largely inspired by photosynthetic processes in nature. As a result of this, most current studies generally utilize the chemistry of magnesium and zinc porphyrin ... -
[5,15-Bis(2-methyl-prop-yl)porphyrinato]nickel(II).
(2012)The title compound, [Ni(C28H28N4)], crystallizes with two independent molecules in the unit cell, one of which is located on an inversion center. Both macrocycles exhibit a planar conformation with average deviation ... -
Immunoliposomes.
(2012)Since their discovery by Bangham about 50 years ago, liposomes have become promising tools in drug delivery systems. This has increased the therapeutic index of many drugs, and offers improved drug targeting and ... -
Transferrin conjugation does not increase the efficiency of liposomal Foscan during in vitro photodynamic therapy of oesophageal cancer
(2013)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the delivery of photocytotoxic agents to a target tissue, followed by irradiation. In order to increase the efficiency of PDT in oesophageal cancer therapy, polyethylene glycol ... -
Efficient Synthesis of Glycoporphyrins by Microwave-Mediated Click Reactions
(2010)The Cu(I)-catalysed Huisgen cycloaddition `click? reaction has been applied to the synthesis of a range of triazole linked glycoporphyrins. The `click? reaction under microwave heating conditions has been shown to provide ... -
Structural, spectroscopic and anion binding properties of 5,10-porphodimethenes, an unusual class of calixphyrins
(2010)Complete spectroscopic, structural and anion binding properties are reported for a special class of calixphyrins, namely 5,10-disubstituted porphodimethenes (PDMs). The crystal structure clearly shows that PDMs exhibit ... -
Organometallic C C Coupling Reactions for Porphyrins
(World Scientific/Imperial College Press, 2010)Organometallic reactions play an important role in modern synthetic chemistry. The ability to form a C?C bond in just one step makes this synthetic approach one of the most attractive tools to create or to modify organic ... -
Porphyrin (porphine) A neglected parent compound with potential
(2010)Porphine is the parent compound of a family of biologically and chemically relevant compounds called porphyrins. The potential of these compounds is enormous and it would be advantageous to use the porphine (porphyrin) ... -
The Structural Chemistry of Isolated Chlorophylls
(World Scientific, 2010)Chlorophylls are often termed the ?pigments of life? and are the primary photosynthetic pigments in nature. They are green colored macrocyclic pigments and the term chlorophyll, coined by Berzelius in 1838, is derived ... -
Synthesis and ligand binding properties of triptycene-linked porphyrin arrays
(2011)Multiporphyrin arrays are a complex class of molecules with numerous potential applications in energy transfer, photomedicine and light harvesting. We have developed a facile/versatile route to a class of triptycene ... -
Molecular Dynamics of the transport of ions
(2013)Molecular dynamics investigations of ions in certain non-bulk media predict that they are capable of significantly greater mobilities than in the liquid state. The entries of Li+, Na+, and K+ ions into a proposed synthetic ... -
Graphene-ionic liquid electrolytes for dye sensitised solar cells
(2013)In this work two dimensional graphene flakes were used to prepare new electrolytes for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Small amounts (up to 3 wt%) of graphene nanoflakes were suspended into the ionic liquid (IL) ... -
Redox and electrochemical water splitting catalytic properties of hydrated metal oxide modified electrodes
(2013)This paper presents a review of the redox and electrocatalytic properties of transition metal oxide electrodes, paying particular attention to the oxygen evolution reaction. Metal oxide materials may be prepared using ... -
Hydrogen bonding interactions and supramolecular networks of pyridine-aryl based thiosemicarbazides and their Zn(II) complexes
(2013)The synthesis of five pyridyl derived thiosemicarbazides, 1-5, is presented. All five were formed in a single step from 2-hydrazinopyridine with commercially available isothiocyanates using microwave assisted synthesis. ... -
NMR studies into colloidal stability and magnetic order in fatty acid stabilised aqueous magnetic fluids
(2010)We report the physico-chemical characterisation of fatty acid stabilised aqueous magnetic fluids, which are ideal systems for studying the influence of nanoparticle aggregation on the emergent magnetic resonance properties ... -
Plasmon-induced CD response of oligonucleotide-conjugated metal nanoparticles.
(2011)Non-chiral metal nanoparticles conjugated with chiral oligonucleotide molecules demonstrated a circular dichroism (CD) at the plasmonic wavelengths due to aggregation effects. -
Enhanced photolabelling of luminescent Eu111 centres with a chelating antenna in a micellar nanodomain
(2010)Photoliberation of a caged, chelating naphthalene antenna greatly enhances the luminescence of a EuIII-cyclen complex due to metal-bound water displacement and sensitization by the antenna, giving a lanthanide-labelling ...
