- Description: Three fused-ring-expanded rubyrins with modified macrocyclic core have been synthesized and characterized. A series of spectroscopic, electrochemical measurements and a set of theoretical calculations demonstrate that the core-modification of the inner core of rubyrins has a large influence on the electronic structure. Colorimetric changes are observe that demonstrate that these core-modified rubyrins could be used as selective Hg2+ ion sensors. These properties can be fine-tuned by introducing lipophilic substituents on the meso-aryl rings.

- Description: Enantioselective electrocatalysis of α-, β-, γ- and δ-hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) by tetrakis-pentafluorophenyl-Fe(III)porphyrin is described. The first example of the combined use of electrochemical measurements and theoretical calculations to determine the mechanism of the enantioselective C–Cl bond cleavage of the electrocatalysis is reported. The electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the reactivity of the HCHs follows the order γ-HCH > α-HCH > δ-HCH > β-HCH. Steric considerations and a molecular orbital theory approach can be used to rationalize the enantioselective nature of the catalysis based on the ease of approach of each Cl atom to the central Fe(I) ion and a consideration of the nodes on the C–Cl bonds that weaken these bonds in a manner that results in bond cleavage and the formation of an Fe–Cl bond.

- Description: The facile synthesis and characterization of four porphyrin dimers which introduced stereomeric centers with chiral amide-bonded para- and meta-disubstituted benzo-moiety is reported. Trends in the electronic structures and optical and redox properties are analyzed through a comparison with theoretical calculations to explore the effect of positional isomerism of the bridging benzene rings.
