Solar energy has a great potential as a clean, cheap, renewable and sustainable energy
source, but it must be captured and transformed into useful forms of energy as plants do. An …

C60 fullerene is an icosahedrally shaped nanosized molecule and is a useful building block
to form various ordered functional nanostructures due to its size, shape, and …

Since the three-dimensional electron-accepting fullerene has been found to be an excellent
building block for self-assembled supramolecular systems, we have investigated …

Anion binding has emerged as an attractive strategy to construct supramolecular electron
donor–acceptor complexes. In recent years, the level of sophistication in the design of these …

A supramolecular oligochromophoric system possessing exclusive binding sites for both a
guest electron acceptor and an anionic cofactor species is developed, and anion-binding …

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) lineshape analysis is a powerful tool for the study of
chemical kinetics. Here we provide techniques for analysis of the relationship between …

Porphyrin-based coordination polymers (PCPs) have been investigated for a variety of
applications including hydrogen storage, molecular sorption and sensing, photonics, and …

The design and syntheses of porphyrin-based ligands are attractive for creating coordination
assemblies with novel structures and intriguing properties. In this work, we designed and …

Porphyrin derivatives bearing 2, 6-di-tert-butylphenol substituents at their 5, 15-positions
undergo reversible photoredox switching between porphyrin and porphodimethene states …

A conformationally flexible calix [4] pyrrole possessing a conjugated electronic structure (an
N‐substituted oxoporphyrinogen (OxP) related to porphyrin) was used to investigate the …
