    Electrochemistry, photoluminescence and theoretical study of the first 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-(triazol-1-yl)phenyl) porphyridine complex

    The first 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-(triazol-1-yl)phenyl) porphyridine complex, [Zn2Cl4(5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-(triazol-1-yl)phenyl)porphyridine)]nnCl•nH3O•7nH2O (1) has been synthesized via solvothermal reactions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is characteristic of a one-dimensional (1-D) structure, consisting of neutral [Zn2Cl4(5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-(triazol-1-yl)phenyl) porphyridine)]n chains, isolated chloride ions and lattice water molecules. The zinc ion is in a four-coordinated tetrahedral geometry, and the porphyrin macrocycle is saddle-distorted. Photoluminescence measurement with solid-state samples discovers that it exhibits an emission in the green region of the light spectrum. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculation discovers that this emission can be attributed to the ππ* charge transfer. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement reveals that it possesses an oxidation peak at 0.37 V.

    A neodymium tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin with a flexible three-dimensional framework

    A novel neodymium porphyrin [Nd(TPPS)]nnH3O (1) [H6TPPS = tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin] has been prepared through a solvothermal reaction and characterized by the X-ray single-crystal diffraction technique. Complex 1is crystallized in the P4/mcc space group of the tetragonal system. Complex 1 features a three-dimensional (3D) open framework with the pore size of the channels being of 6.9 Å × 8.2 Å. A wide optical band gap of 4.98 eV is revealed by the solid-state UV/vis diffuse reflectance spectrum. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility obeys the Curie-Weiss law (χm=c/(T𝜃)) with C= 0.67 K and a negative Weiss constant 𝜃= -0.37 K as found by the magnetic measurements, suggesting the existence of an antiferromagnetic behavior. The N2 adsorption and desorption curves show good reversibility and verify that the 3-D framework is flexible and can be compressed with the increasing pressure.
