Abstract
As two-photon absorption (TPA) materials, phthalocyanine molecules have promising application prospects due to their large TPA absorption cross-section, high third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility, and ultrafast response characteristics. In this work, optical properties and the ultrafast response of three modified zinc phthalocyanine molecules (P-HPcZn, Pc-P-Pc, and (DR1)4PcZn) were analyzed. No obvious side-shoulder absorption peaks in the Q-band can be observed from the steady-state absorption spectra of the three molecules, confirming the lack of aggregation products in the solutions of our measurement. Open-aperture Z-scan results show relatively large TPA cross-section values of 136.4 and 55.3 GM for Pc-P-Pc and (DR1)4PcZn, respectively. The nonlinear optical results show that the absorption process observed under the excitation of femtosecond pulses is a reverse saturable absorption (RSA) mechanism. Up-conversion fluorescence spectra of (DR1)4PcZn in THF solution indicate that the fluorescence emission mechanism is TPA. In the study of ultrafast dynamics, the transient absorption spectra were investigated and the decay lifetime of the dynamic traces corresponding to some representative probe wavelengths was obtained through data fitting with a multi-exponential function. Finally, the charge transfer and excited state properties of the modified zinc phthalocyanine molecules were discussed in depth by the DFT method. The energy gaps of P-HPcZn, Pc-P-Pc, and (DR1)4PcZn are 2.16, 1.39, and 2.13 eV, respectively. The results indicate that the Pc-P-Pc of donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) structure has the smallest energy gap as well as the best charge transfer properties.

Abstract
The highly localized Fe d orbital in ion phthalocyanine (FePc)-based molecular catalysts significantly hinders their electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) performance. Herein, we theoretically designed a series of FePc-based molecules with adjacent metal phthalocyanine sites to form an asymmetric delocalized electronic structure on Fe centers, promoting the catalytic activity and lowering the overpotential of the eNRR, as well as suppressing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) side reaction.

Abstract
A brief, practical catalytic process for the production of optically active γ-functionalized alcohols from relevant alkenes has been developed by using a robust Mn(III)/air/(Me2SiH)2O catalytic system combined with lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution. This approach demonstrates exceptional tolerance toward proximal functional groups present on alkenes, enabling the achievement of high yields and exclusive enantioselectivity. Under this sequential catalytic system, the chiral alkene precursors can also be converted into γ-functionalized alcohols and related acetates as separable single enantiomers.

Abstract
Phthalocyanine and hypericin have been previously identified as possible SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein fusion inhibitors through a virtual screening procedure. In this paper, atomistic simulations of metal-free phthalocyanines and atomistic and coarse-grained simulations of hypericins, placed around a complete model of the Spike embedded in a viral membrane, allowed to further explore their multi-target inhibitory potential, uncovering their binding to key protein functional regions and their propensity to insert in the membrane. Following computational results, pre-treatment of a pseudovirus expressing the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein with low compounds concentrations resulted in a strong inhibition of its entry into cells, suggesting the activity of these molecules should involve the direct targeting of the viral envelope surface. The combination of computational and in vitro results hence supports the role of hypericin and phthalocyanine as promising SARS-CoV-2 entry inhibitors, further endorsed by literature reporting the efficacy of these compounds in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 activity and in treating hospitalized COVID-19 patients.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Developing artificial enzymes based on organic molecules or polymers for reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related catalysis has broad applicability. Herein, inspired by porphyrin-based heme mimics, we report the synthesis of polyphthalocyanine-based conjugated polymers (Fe-PPc-AE) as a new porphyrin-evolving structure to serve as efficient and versatile artificial enzymes for augmented reactive oxygen catalysis. Owing to the structural advantages, such as enhanced π-conjugation networks and π-electron delocalization, promoted electron transfer, and unique Fe-N coordination centers, Fe-PPc-AE showed more efficient ROS-production activity in terms of Vmax and turnover numbers as compared with porphyrin-based conjugated polymers (Fe-PPor-AE), which also surpassed reported state-of-the-art artificial enzymes in their activity. More interestingly, by changing the reaction medium and substrates, Fe-PPc-AE also revealed significantly improved activity and environmental adaptivity in many other ROS-related biocatalytic processes, validating the potential of Fe-PPc-AE to replace conventional (poly)porphyrin-based heme mimics for ROS-related catalysis, biosensors, or biotherapeutics. It is suggested that this study will offer essential guidance for designing artificial enzymes based on organic molecules or polymers.

Abstract
In this study, novel non-peripheral tetra-mercaptopyridine-substituted mono- and double-decker phthalocyanines (LuPc and LuPc2) containing lutetium(III) as a rare earth metal were synthesized and characterized using different spectroscopic techniques. ESR and electrochemical analyses were performed to support the sandwich structure of LuPc2. The g factor was determined to be 2.00039 and the characteristic first reduction couple at 0.29 V indicated a reduction of the radical Pc ring of LuPc2. In addition, the UV-Vis-NIR spectra of LuPc2 in neutral, reduced, and oxidized states demonstrate its intrinsic π-radical nature in CHCl3. The photophysicochemical properties of LuPc and LuPc2 were investigated in DMSO. It was found that mono-phthalocyanine (LuPc) is a more effective photosensitizer than double-decker (LuPc2) and metal-free (H2Pc) phthalocyanines based on a comparison of their photophysical and photochemical properties. The singlet oxygen quantum yields (ΦΔ) of the synthesized LuPc and LuPc2 compounds were calculated to be 0.57 and 0.14, respectively, and the obtained results were compared with H2Pc (ΦΔ = 0.04). Also, electrochemical measurements were performed to estimate their redox potentials and the results indicated the important electrochemical performance of double-decker phthalocyanine (LuPc2).

Abstract
A typical component of polymer waste is polystyrene (PS) used in numerous applications, but degraded only slowly in the environment due to its hydrophobic properties. To increase the reactivity of polystyrene, polar groups need to be introduced. Here, biohybrid catalysts based on the engineered anchor peptide LCI_F16C are presented, which are capable of attaching to polystyrene microparticles and hydroxylating benzylic C-H bonds in polystyrene microparticles using commercially available oxone as oxidant. LCI peptides achieve a dense surface coverage of PS through monolayer formation within minutes in aqueous solutions at ambient temperature. The catalytically active cobalt cofactor Co-L1 or Co-L2 with a modified NNNN macrocyclic TACD ligand (TACD=1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) is covalently bound to the anchor peptide LCI through a maleimide linker. Compared to the free cofactors, a 12- to 15-fold improvement in catalytic activity using biohybrid catalysts based on LCI_F16C was observed.

Abstract
The rational design of efficient catalysts for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) critically relies on a comprehensive understanding of the reaction mechanisms. Herein, the alkaline OER on planar mononuclear metal phthalocyanines (MPc, where M = Mn, Co, Fe, and Ni) and binuclear metal phthalocyanines (bi-MPc) is studied using density functional theory (DFT) methods. Both FePc and bi-CoPc exhibit enhanced stability and OER activity, with the energy required for the leaching of central metal being as high as 2.28 and 2.45 eV and the overpotentials of the OER being 0.48 and 0.57 V, respectively. Through electronic structure analysis, it is found that, in the OER process of bi-MPc, the large macrocyclic ligand and metal ions not bonding with the intermediate can serve as hole reservoirs. Intermediate species are further stabilized by the dispersal of a positive charge, reducing the free energy. These findings underscore the significance of macrocyclic ligands in the rate-determining step of the OER catalyst.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2 RR) is a promising strategy to achieve carbon cycling by converting CO2 into value-added products under mild reaction conditions. Recently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have shown enormous potential in eCO2 RR due to their high utilization of metal atoms and flexible coordination structures. In this work, the recent progress in SACs for eCO2 RR is outlined, with detailed discussions on the interaction between active sites and CO2 , especially the adsorption/activation behavior of CO2 and the effects of the electronic structure of SACs on eCO2 RR. Three perspectives form the starting point: 1) Important factors of SACs for eCO2 RR; 2) Typical SACs for eCO2 RR; 3) eCO2 RR toward valuable products. First, how different modification strategies can change the electronic structure of SACs to improve catalytic performance is discussed; Second, SACs with diverse supports and how supports assist active sites to undergo catalytic reaction are introduced; Finally, according to various valuable products from eCO2 RR, the reaction mechanism and measures which can be taken to improve the selectivity of eCO2 RR are discussed. Hopefully, this work can provide a comprehensive understanding of SACs for eCO2 RR and spark innovative design and modification ideas to develop highly efficient SACs for CO2 conversion to various valuable fuels/chemicals.

Abstract
Ethylene glycol is an essential commodity chemical with high demand, which is conventionally produced via thermocatalytic oxidation of ethylene with huge fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emission. The one-step electrochemical approach offers a sustainable route but suffers from reliance on noble metal catalysts, low activity, and mediocre selectivity. Herein, we report a one-step electrochemical oxidation of ethylene to ethylene glycol over an earth-abundant metal-based molecular catalyst, a cobalt phthalocyanine supported on a carbon nanotube (CoPc/CNT). The catalyst delivers ethylene glycol with 100% selectivity and 1.78 min-1 turnover frequency at room temperature and ambient pressure, more competitive than those obtained over palladium catalysts. Experimental data demonstrate that the catalyst orchestrates multiple tasks in sequence, involving electrochemical water activation to generate high-valence Co-oxo species, ethylene epoxidation to afford an ethylene oxide intermediate via oxygen transfer, and eventually ring-opening of ethylene oxide to ethylene glycol facilitated by in situ formed Lewis acid site. This work offers a great opportunity for commodity chemicals synthesis based on a one-step, earth-abundant metal-catalyzed, and renewable electricity-driven route.

[PMID: 38398640 PMCID: PMC10891708 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29040888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Phthalocyanines and their double-decker complexes are interesting in designing rotative molecular machines, which are crucial for the development of molecular motors and gears. This study explores the design and synthesis of three bulky phthalocyanine ligands functionalized at the α-positions with phenothiazine or carbazole fragments, aiming to investigate dynamic rotational motions in these sterically hindered molecular complexes. Homoleptic and heteroleptic double-decker complexes were synthesized through the complexation of these ligands with Ce(IV). Notably, CeIV(Pc2)2 and CeIV(Pc3)2, both homoleptic complexes, exhibited blocked rotational motions even at high temperatures. The heteroleptic CeIV(Pc)(Pc3) complex, designed to lower symmetry, demonstrated switchable rotation along the pseudo-C4 symmetry axis upon heating the solution. Variable-temperature 1H-NMR studies revealed distinct dynamic behaviors in these complexes. This study provides insights into the rotational dynamics of sterically hindered double-decker complexes, paving the way for their use in the field of rotative molecular machines.

Abstract
Designing photocatalysts with efficient charge transport and abundant active sites for photocatalytic CO2 reduction in pure water is considered a potential approach. Herein, a nickel-phthalocyanine containing Ni-N4 active sites-based conjugated microporous polymer (NiPc-CMP), offering highly dispersed metal active sites, satisfactory CO2 adsorption capability, and excellent light harvesting properties, is engineered as a photocatalyst. By virtue of the covalently bonded bridge, an atomic-scale interface between the NiPc-CMP/Bi2 WO6 Z-scheme heterojunction with strong chemical interactions is obtained. The interface creates directional charge transport highways and retains a high redox potential, thereby enhancing the photoexcited charge carrier separation and photocatalytic efficiency. Consequently, the optimal NiPc-CMP/Bi2 WO6 (NCB-3) achieves efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance in pure water under visible-light irradiation without any sacrificial agent or photosensitizer, affording a CO generation rate of 325.9 µmol g-1 with CO selectivity of 93% in 8 h, outperforming those of Bi2 WO6 and NiPc-CMP, individually. Experimental and theoretical calculations reveal the promotion of interfacial photoinduced electron separation and the role of Ni-N4 active sites in photocatalytic reactions. This study presents a high-performance CMP-based Z-scheme heterojunction with an effective interfacial charge-transfer route and rich metal active sites for photocatalytic CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Owing to the sluggish reaction kinetics, it is a promising yet challenging task to achieve the adequate electricity-driven catalytic oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in neutral conditions. Herein, we have prepared an elelctrocatalyst with interfacial coupling effect through in-situ growth of Cu phthalocyanine (CuPc) on Co3O4 spinel (Co3O4/CuPc), which constructs an effective electrocatalytic system of HMF oxidation with overall oxidation value-added products yield and total Faraday efficiency up to 80% and 70%, respectively. The interfacial coupling effect between CuPc and Co3O4 spinel improve catalytic activity by effectively boosting the interfacial charge transfer and reducing the formation energy of key *C6H3O4 in the catalytic pathway according to the in situ Raman spectroscopy and DFT simulation. This work illustrates the significance of interfacial coupling effect for developing highly efficient electrocatalysts applied for neutral system of biomass oxidation.

Abstract
High resolution force measurements of molecules on surfaces, in non-contact atomic force microscopy, are often only performed at cryogenic temperatures, due to needing a highly stable system, and a passivated probe tip (typically via CO-functionalisation). Here we show a reliable protocol for acquiring three-dimensional force map data over both single organic molecules and assembled islands of molecules, at room temperature. Isolated cobalt phthalocyanine and islands of C60 are characterised with submolecular resolution, on a passivated silicon substrate (B:Si(111)-[Formula: see text]). Geometries of cobalt phthalocyanine are determined to a ~ 10 pm accuracy. For the C60, the protocol is sufficiently robust that areas spanning 10 nm × 10 nm are mapped, despite the difficulties of room temperature operation. These results provide a proof-of-concept for gathering high-resolution three-dimensional force maps of networks of complex, non-planar molecules on surfaces, in conditions more analogous to real-world application.

Abstract
The growing global concern about environmental threats due to environmental pollution requires the development of environmentally friendly and efficient removal/detection materials and methods. Porphyrin/phthalocyanine (Por/Pc) based porous organic polymers (POPs) as a newly emerging porous material are prepared through polymerizing building blocks with different structures. Benefiting from the high porosity, adjustable pore structure, and enzyme-like activities, the Por/Pc-POPs can be the ideal platform to study the removal and detection of pollutants. However, a systematic summary of their application in environmental treatment is still lacking to date. In this review, the development of various Por/Pc-POPs for pollutant removal and detection applications over the past decade was systematically addressed for the first time to offer valuable guidance on environmental remediation through the utilization of Por/Pc-POPs. This review is divided into two sections (pollutants removal and detection) focusing on Por/Pc-POPs for organic, inorganic, and gaseous pollutants adsorption, photodegradation, and chemosensing, respectively. The related removal and sensing mechanisms are also discussed, and the methods to improve removal and detection efficiency and selectivity are also summarized. For the future practical application of Por/Pc-POPs, this review provides the emerging research directions and their application possibility and challenges in the removal and detection of pollutants.

Abstract
In the realm of wastewater treatment, the power of ferrate (Fe(VI)) and peracetic acid (PAA) as oxidants stands out. But their combined might is where the enhancement truly lies. Their collaborative effect intensifies, but the underlying mechanics, especially across varying pH levels and pollutant types, still lurks in obscurity. Our study delved into the sophisticated oxidation interplay among Fe(VI)-PAA, Fe(VI)-H2O2, and standalone Fe(VI) systems. Notably, at a pH of 9.0, boasting a kinetic constant of ∼0.127 M-1·s-1, the Fe(VI)-PAA system annihilated the pollutant sulfamethoxazole, outpacing its counterparts by a staggering 48.73-fold when compared to the Fe(VI)-H2O2 system and 105.58-fold when using Fe(VI) individually. The behavior of active species─such as the dynamic •OH radicals and high-valent iron species (Fe(IV)/Fe(V))─shifted with pH variations, leading to distinct degradation pathways. Our detailed exploration pinpoints the behaviors of certain species across pH levels from 3.0 to 9.0. In more acidic environments, the •OH species proved indispensable for the system's reactivity. Conversely, as the pH inclined, degradation was increasingly steered by high-valent iron species. This intensive probe demystifies Fe(VI) interactions, deepening our understanding of the capabilities of the Fe(VI)-centered system and guiding us toward cleaner water solutions. Importantly, pH value, often underappreciated, holds the reins in organic wastewater decontamination. Embracing this key player is vital as we strategize for more expansive systems in upcoming ventures.

Abstract
Improving the reactivity of Fe(III) for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) at circumneutral pH is critical to propel the iron-activated PMS processes toward practical wastewater treatment but is yet challenging. Here we employed the complexes of Fe(III) with the biodegradable picolinic acid (PICA) to activate PMS for degradation of selected chlorinated phenols, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, herbicides, and industrial compounds at pH 4.0-6.0. The FeIII-PICA complexes greatly outperformed the ligand-free Fe(III) and other Fe(III) complexes of common aminopolycarboxylate ligands. In the main activation pathway, the key intermediate is a peroxymonosulfate complex, tentatively identified as PICA-FeIII-OOSO3-, which undergoes O-O homolysis or reacts with FeIII-PICA and PMS to yield FeIV=O and SO4•- without the involvement of commonly invoked Fe(II). PICA-FeIII-OOSO3- can also react directly with certain compounds (chlorophenols and sulfamethoxazole). The relative contributions of PICA-FeIII-OOSO3-, FeIV=O, and SO4•- depend on the structure of target compounds. This work sets an eligible example to enhance the reactivity of Fe(III) toward PMS activation by ligands and sheds light on the previously unrecognized role of the metal-PMS complexes in directing the catalytic cycle and decontamination as well.

Abstract
Heterogeneities in the structure of active centers in metal-containing porous materials are unavoidable and complicate the description of chemical events occurring along reaction coordinates at the atomic level. Metal containing zeolites include sites of varied local coordination and secondary confining environments, requiring careful titration protocols to quantify the predominant active sites. Hybrid organometallic-zeolite catalysts are useful well-defined platform materials for spectroscopic, kinetic, and computational studies of heterogeneous catalysis that avoid the complications of conventional metal-containing porous materials. Such materials have been synthesized and studied previously, but catalytic applications were mostly limited to liquid-phase oxidation and electrochemical reactions. The hydrothermal stability, time-on-stream stability, and utility of these materials in gas-phase oxidation reactions are under-studied. The potential applications for single-site heterogeneous catalysts in fundamental research are abundant and motivate future synthetic, spectroscopic, kinetic, and computational studies.

Abstract
Iron phthalocyanines play crucial fundamental and applied roles ranging from bulk colorants to components of advanced materials. In this Frontier article, we discuss four aspects concerning the influence of the axial ligands on spectroscopic and redox properties of iron(II) phthalocyanines: (i) iron versus macrocycle oxidation cite as a function of Lever's EL parameter; (ii) energy of the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions as a function of Lever's EL parameter; (iii) iron versus macrocycle reduction in iron(II) phthalocyanines; (iv) Mössbauer quadrupole splitting as a function of axial ligand binding through the prism of dz2 orbital population.

Abstract
The manipulation of spin-state switching (SSS) under ambient conditions is of significant importance for the construction of molecular switches. Herein, we demonstrate that reversible SSS can be mediated by the aggregation state of a near-infrared (NIR)-sensitive ferrous complex. The ferrous complex was J-aggregated in a DMF suspension and with a low-spin (LS) state; however, with the addition of water, it changed to H-aggregation and reached a high-spin (HS) state, owing to the enhanced intramolecular charge transfer and metal-to-ligand charge transfer. Interestingly, the following NIR irradiation can restore the J-aggregation and LS states owing to the enhanced ligand-to-ligand charge transfer. More interestingly, the ferrous complex can be further incorporated into a hygroscopic sponge that was capable of capturing humidity effectively for all weather conditions, which displayed reversible SSS via alternating atmospheric humidity capture and NIR irradiation under ambient conditions in the sponge state. This study thus opens up a new avenue for the development of novel smart molecular switches at the device level.

Abstract
Iron ions in a square-planar coordination can bind molecules at the vacant axial positions and are able to transform them in stoichiometric and catalytic reactions. Nature takes advantage of these properties by incorporating iron into porphyrin systems, which play a key role not only in the binding and transport of oxygen, but also in catalytic oxidation and reduction reactions involving cytochrome P450. Although these systems have been studied extensively, there are still unresolved questions regarding the interplay between the iron ions and the surrounding ligands. Phthalocyanines (Pc) create a similar environment for metal atoms and FePc is known for a long time. However, without axial ligands FePc aggregates leading to solids of low solubility. In this work we used a known six-coordinate iron phthalocyanine derivative with bulky substituents and removed the stabilizing axial ligands. The resulting paramagnetic, four-coordinate compound does not aggregate and dissolves well so that NMR spectroscopy can be employed for studying the molecular structure and the reactivity. Solvent molecules bind weakly to the iron centers and oxygen is reduced in the presence of H-atom donors. The stoichiometric and catalytic reactivity with oxygen was studied in more detail.

Abstract
Phthalocyanines (PCs) are intriguing building blocks owing to their stability, physicochemical and catalytic properties. Although PC-based polymers have been reported before, many suffer from relatively low stability, crystallinity, and low surface areas. Utilizing a mixed-metal salt ionothermal approach, we report the synthesis of a series of metallophthalocyanine-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) starting from 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene and 2,3,6,7-tetracyanoanthracene to form the corresponding COFs named M-pPPCs and M-anPPCs, respectively. The obtained COFs followed the Irving-Williams series in their metal contents, surface areas, and pore volume and featured excellent CO2 uptake capacities up to 7.6 mmol g-1 at 273 K, 1.1 bar. We also investigated the growth of the Co-pPPC and Co-anPPC on a highly conductive carbon nanofiber and demonstrated their high catalytic activity in the electrochemical CO2 reduction, which showed Faradaic efficiencies towards CO up to 74 % at -0.64 V vs. RHE.

Abstract
A quantum-classical protocol that incorporates Jahn-Teller vibronic coupling effects and cluster analysis of molecular dynamics simulations is reported, providing a tool for simulations of absorption spectra and ultrafast nonadiabatic dynamics in large molecular photosystems undergoing aggregation in solution. Employing zinc phthalocyanine dyes as target systems, we demonstrated that the proposed protocol provided fundamental information on vibronic, electronic couplings and thermal dynamical effects that mostly contribute to the absorption spectra lineshape and the fluorescence quenching processes upon dye aggregation. Decomposing the various effects arising upon dimer formation, the structure-property relations associated with their optical responses have been deciphered at atomistic resolution.

Abstract
Nitrogenase is a fascinating enzyme in biology that reduces dinitrogen from air to ammonia through stepwise reduction and protonation. Despite it being studied in detail by experimental and computational groups, there are still many unknown factors in the catalytic cycle of nitrogenase, especially related to the addition of protons and electrons and their order. A recent biomimetic study characterized a potential dinitrogen-bridged diiron cluster as a synthetic model of nitrogenase. Using strong acid and reductants, the dinitrogen was converted into ammonia molecules, but details of the mechanism remains unknown. In particular, it was unclear from the experimental studies whether the proton and electron transfer steps are sequential or alternating. Moreover, the work failed to establish what the function of the diiron core is and whether it split into mononuclear iron fragments during the reaction. To understand the structure and reactivity of the biomimetic dinitrogen-bridged diiron complex [(P2P'PhFeH)2(μ-N2)] with triphenylphosphine ligands, we performed a density functional theory study. Our computational methods were validated against experimental crystal structure coordinates, Mössbauer parameters, and vibrational frequencies and show excellent agreement. Subsequently, we investigated the alternating and consecutive addition of electrons and protons to the system. The calculations identify a number of possible reaction channels, namely, same-site protonation, alternating protonation, and complex dissociation into mononuclear iron centers. The calculations show that the overall mechanism is not a pure sequential set of electron and proton transfers but a mixture of alternating and consecutive steps. In particular, the first reaction steps will start with double proton transfer followed by an electron transfer, while thereafter, there is another proton transfer and a second electron transfer to give a complex whereby ammonia can split off with a low energetic barrier. The second channel starts with alternating protonation of the two nitrogen atoms, whereafter the initial double proton transfer, electrons and protons are added sequentially to form a hydrazine-bound complex. The latter split off ammonia spontaneously after further protonation. The various reaction channels are analyzed with valence bond and orbital diagrams. We anticipate the nitrogenase enzyme to operate with mixed alternating and consecutive protonation and electron transfer steps.

Abstract
Heme proteins perform diverse biochemical functions using a single iron porphyrin cofactor. This versatility makes them attractive platforms for the development of new functional proteins. While directed evolution and metal substitution have expanded the properties, reactivity, and applications of heme proteins, the incorporation of porphyrin analogs remains an underexplored approach. This review discusses the replacement of heme with non-porphyrin cofactors, such as porphycene, corrole, tetradehydrocorrin, phthalocyanine, and salophen, and the attendant properties of these conjugates. While structurally similar, each ligand exhibits distinct optical and redox properties, as well as unique chemical reactivity. These hybrids serve as model systems to elucidate the effects of the protein environment on the electronic structure, redox potentials, optical properties, or other features of the porphyrin analog. Protein encapsulation can confer distinct chemical reactivity or selectivity of artificial metalloenzymes that cannot be achieved with the small molecule catalyst alone. Additionally, these conjugates can interfere with heme acquisition and uptake in pathogenic bacteria, providing an inroad to innovative antibiotic strategies. Together, these examples illustrate the diverse functionality that can be achieved by cofactor substitution. The further expansion of this approach will access unexplored chemical space, enabling the development of superior catalysts and the creation of heme proteins with emergent properties.

Abstract
Metallophthalocyanine (PcM) coordination complexes are well-known mediators of the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2). They have many properties that show promise for practical applications in the energy sector. Such properties include synthetic flexibility, a high stability, and good efficiencies for the reduction of CO2 to useful feedstocks, such as carbon monoxide (CO). One of the ongoing challenges that needs to be met is the incorporation of PcM into the heterogeneous materials that are used in a great many CO2-reduction devices. Much progress has been made in the last decade and there are now several promising approaches to incorporate PcM into a range of materials, from simple carbon-adsorbed preparations to extended polymer networks. These approaches all have important advantages and drawbacks. In addition, investigations have led to new proposals regarding CO2 reduction catalytic cycles and other operational features that are crucial to function. Here, we describe developments in the immobilization of PcM CO2 reduction catalysts in the last decade (2013 to 2023) and propose promising avenues and strategies for future research.

Abstract
We show that the ability of the ligand to reorganize the electric double layer (EDL) often dominates the electrocatalysis contrary to their inductive effect in the spectrochemical series, leading to counterintuitive electrocatalysis. With water oxidation and chlorine evolution as the probe reactions, the same catalytic entity with carboxy functionalized ligand exhibited surprisingly higher electrochemical activity in comparison to the aggressively electron-withdrawing nitro functionalized ligands, which is contrary to their actual location in the spectrochemical series. Spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses suggest the enrichment of catalytically active species in the carboxy substituted ligand via proton charge assembly in the EDL that in turn enhances the kinetics of the overall electrochemical process. This demonstration of less obvious ligands becoming indispensable in electrocatalysis suggests a blind designing of ligands solely based on their inductive effect should be reconsidered as it will prevent the utilization of the maximum potential of the molecule in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) phthalocyanine-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) provide an ideal platform for efficient and rapid gas sensing-this can be attributed to their regular structure, moderate conductivity, and a large number of scalable metal active centers. However, there remains a need to explore structural modification strategies for optimizing the sluggish desorption process caused by the extensive porosity and strong adsorption effect of metal sites. Herein, we reported a 2D bimetallic phthalocyanine-based COF (COF-CuNiPc) as chemiresistive gas sensors that exhibited a high gas-sensing performance to nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Bimetallic COF-CuNiPc with an asymmetric synergistic effect achieves a fast adsorption/desorption process to NO2. It is demonstrated that the COF-CuNiPc can detect 50 ppb NO2 with a recovery time of 7 s assisted by ultraviolet illumination. Compared with single-metal phthalocyanine-based COFs (COF-CuPc and COF-NiPc), the bimetallic structure of COF-CuNiPc can provide a proper band gap to interact with NO2 gas molecules. The CuNiPc heterometallic active site expands the overlap of d-orbitals, and the optimized electronic arrangement accelerates the adsorption/desorption processes. The concept of a synergistic effect enabled by bimetallic phthalocyanines in this work can provide an innovative direction to design high-performance chemiresistive gas sensors.

Abstract
The use of two or more metal catalysts in a reaction is a powerful synthetic strategy to access complex targets efficiently and selectively from simple starting materials. While capable of uniting distinct reactivities, the principles governing multimetallic catalysis are not always intuitive, making the discovery and optimization of new reactions challenging. Here, we outline our perspective on the design elements of multimetallic catalysis using precedent from well-documented C-C bond-forming reactions. These strategies provide insight into the synergy of metal catalysts and compatibility of the individual components of a reaction. Advantages and limitations are discussed to promote further development of the field.

Abstract
Numerous biomimetic molecular catalysts inspired by methane monooxygenases (MMOs) that utilize iron or copper-oxo species as key intermediates have been developed. However, the catalytic methane oxidation activities of biomimetic molecule-based catalysts are still much lower than those of MMOs. Herein, we report that the close stacking of a μ-nitrido-bridged iron phthalocyanine dimer onto a graphite surface is effective in achieving high catalytic methane oxidation activity. The activity is almost 50 times higher than that of other potent molecule-based methane oxidation catalysts and comparable to those of certain MMOs, in an aqueous solution containing H2O2. It was demonstrated that the graphite-supported μ-nitrido-bridged iron phthalocyanine dimer oxidized methane, even at room temperature. Electrochemical investigation and density functional theory calculations suggested that the stacking of the catalyst onto graphite induced partial charge transfer from the reactive oxo species of the μ-nitrido-bridged iron phthalocyanine dimer and significantly lowered the singly occupied molecular orbital level, thereby facilitating electron transfer from methane to the catalyst in the proton-coupled electron-transfer process. The cofacially stacked structure is advantageous for stable adhesion of the catalyst molecule on the graphite surface in the oxidative reaction condition and for preventing decreases in the oxo-basicity and generation rate of the terminal iron-oxo species. We also demonstrated that the graphite-supported catalyst exhibited appreciably enhanced activity under photoirradiation owing to the photothermal effect.

Abstract
For many years, capturing, storing or sequestering CO2 from concentrated emission sources or from air has been a powerful technique for reducing atmospheric CO2. Moreover, the use of CO2 as a C1 building block to mitigate CO2 emissions and, at the same time, produce sustainable chemicals or fuels is a challenging and promising alternative to meet global demand for chemicals and energy. Hence, the chemical incorporation and conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals has received much attention in the last decade, since CO2 is an abundant, inexpensive, nontoxic, nonflammable, and renewable one-carbon building block. Nevertheless, CO2 is the most oxidized form of carbon, thermodynamically the most stable form and kinetically inert. Consequently, the chemical conversion of CO2 requires highly reactive, rich-energy substrates, highly stable products to be formed or harder reaction conditions. The use of catalysts constitutes an important tool in the development of sustainable chemistry, since catalysts increase the rate of the reaction without modifying the overall standard Gibbs energy in the reaction. Therefore, special attention has been paid to catalysis, and in particular to heterogeneous catalysis because of its environmentally friendly and recyclable nature attributed to simple separation and recovery, as well as its applicability to continuous reactor operations. Focusing on heterogeneous catalysts, we decided to center on zeolite and ordered mesoporous materials due to their high thermal and chemical stability and versatility, which make them good candidates for the design and development of catalysts for CO2 conversion. In the present review, we analyze the state of the art in the last 25 years and the potential opportunities for using zeolite and OMS (ordered mesoporous silica) based materials to convert CO2 into valuable chemicals essential for our daily lives and fuels, and to pave the way towards reducing carbon footprint. In this review, we have compiled, to the best of our knowledge, the different reactions involving catalysts based on zeolites and OMS to convert CO2 into cyclic and dialkyl carbonates, acyclic carbamates, 2-oxazolidones, carboxylic acids, methanol, dimethylether, methane, higher alcohols (C2+OH), C2+ (gasoline, olefins and aromatics), syngas (RWGS, dry reforming of methane and alcohols), olefins (oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes) and simple fuels by photoreduction. The use of advanced zeolite and OMS-based materials, and the development of new processes and technologies should provide a new impulse to boost the conversion of CO2 into chemicals and fuels.

Abstract
Encapsulation of hydrophobic molecules in protein-based nanocages is a promising approach for dispersing these molecules in water. Here, we report a chemical modification approach to produce a protein nanocage with a hydrophobic interior surface based on our previously developed nanocage, TIP60. The large pores of TIP60 act as tunnels for small molecules, allowing modification of the interior surface by hydrophobic compounds without nanocage disassembly. We used four different hydrophobic compounds for modification. The largest modification group tested, pyrene, resulted in a modified TIP60 that could encapsulate aromatic photosensitizer zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPC) more efficiently than the other modification compounds. The encapsulated ZnPC generated singlet oxygen upon light activation in the aqueous phase, whereas ZnPC alone formed inert aggregates under the same experimental conditions. Given that chemical modification allows a wider diversity of modifications than mutagenesis, this approach could be used to develop more suitable nanocages for encapsulating hydrophobic molecules of interest.

Abstract
Non-heme manganese(II) complexes [(IndH)MnIICl2] (1) and [(N4Py*)MnII(CH3CN)](ClO4)2 (2) with tridentate isoindoline and pentadentate polypyridyl ligands (IndH = 1,3-bis(2′-pyridylimino)isoindoline; N4Py* = N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2- di(2-pyridyl)ethylamine) proved to be suitable to catalyze the oxidative demethylation of N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) with various oxidants such as tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), peracetic acid (PAA), and meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA), resulting N-methylaniline (MA) as a main product with N-methylformanilide (MFA) as a result of a free-radical chain process under air. The effect of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on the aromatic ring on the relative reactivity of the substrates and on the product composition (MA/MFA) was also studied and showed a significant impact on the catalytic N-demethylation reaction. Based on the Hammett correlation with ρ = −0.38 (PAA), −0.45 (mCPBA), and −0.63 (TBHP) for 1 and ρ = −0.38 (PAA) and −0.37 (mCPBA) for 2, an electrophilic intermediate is suggested as the key oxidant. Furthermore, the spectral investigation (UV-Vis) resulted in direct evidence for the formation of a high-valent oxomanganese(IV) and a transient radical cation intermediate, p-Me-DMA•+, suggesting that the initial step in the manganese-catalyzed oxidations is a fast electron-transfer between the amine and the high valent oxometal species. The mechanisms of the subsequent steps are discussed.

Abstract
The experimental and theoretical study of the influence of metal complexing on geometry, aromaticity, chirality, and the ability to twist the nematic phase by complexes based on modified natural chlorin e6 was carried out. The geometry optimization of the chlorin e6 13(N)-methylamide-15,17-dimethyl ester (MADMECl) and its Zn, Cu, and Ni complexes by DFT (CAM-B3LYP/6–31 G(d,p) functional) method was performed. Based on these calculations, the acoplanarity degree of the macrocyclic ligand and the distortion energy of its dianion were estimated, which allowed the arrangement of the MADMECl complexes in the series Ni > Cu > Zn. Aromaticity was evaluated using the NICS criterion (nuclear independent chemical shift). An increase in the degree of aromaticity of the macrocycle upon complex formation was established. At the same time, the aromaticity of the inner conjugation contour corresponds to the same series as the acoplanarity, while the outer π-delocalization is characterized by the reverse sequence. An experimental evaluation of the electron circular dichroism of the Soret and the Q-bands, as well as the g-factor of dissymmetry, was carried out. The growth of these parameters with an increase in the degree of acoplanarity and aromaticity of the internal conjugation contour was determined. The induction of helical phases in mixtures of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) based on cyanobiphenyls and MADMECl macrocyclic metal complexes was studied by polarization microscopy, and the clearance temperatures and helix pitch of the mesophases were measured. A strong effect of the metal on the phase transition temperature and helical twisting power was established.

Abstract
Here, the ground-state structures, electronic structures, polarizability, and spectral properties of metal-free phthalocyanine (H2Pc) under different external electric fields (EEFs) are investigated. The results show that EEF has an ultrastrong regulation effect on various aspects of H2Pc; the geometric structures, electronic properties, polarizability, and spectral properties are strongly sensitive to the EEF. In particular, an EEF of 0.025 a.u. is an important control point: an EEF of 0.025 a.u. will bend the benzene ring subunits to the positive and negative x directions of the planar molecule. Flipping the EEF from positive (0.025 a.u.) to negative (-0.025 a.u.) flips also the bending direction of benzene ring subunits. The H2Pc shows different dipole moments projecting an opposite direction along the x direction (-84 and 84 Debye for EEFs of -0.025 and 0.025 a.u., respectively) under negative and positive EEF, revealing a significant dipole moment transformation. Furthermore, when the EEF is removed, the molecule can be restored to the planar structure. The transformation of the H2Pc structure can be induced by the EEF, which has potential applications in the molecular devices such as molecular switches or molecular forceps. EEF lowers total energy and reduces highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gap; especially, an EEF of 0.025 a.u. can reduce the HOMO-LUMO gap from 2.1 eV (in the absence of EEF) to 0.37 eV, and thus, it can enhance the molecular conductivity. The first hyperpolarizability of H2Pc is 0 in the absence of EEF; remarkably, an EEF of 0.025 a.u. can enhance the first hyperpolarizability up to 15,578 a.u. Therefore, H2Pc under the EEF could be introduced as a promising innovative nonlinear optical (NLO) nanomaterial such as NLO switches. The strong EEF (0.025 a.u.) causes a large number of new absorption peaks in IR and Raman spectra and causes the redshift of electronic absorption spectra. The changes of EEF can be used to regulate the structure transformation and properties of H2Pc, which can promote the application of H2Pc in nanometer fields such as molecular devices.

Abstract
Large ordered islands of aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPc) molecules, which are unstable in air, are synthesized from ClAlPc on Pb(100) via dechlorination. Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy reveals that isolated AlPc molecules lose their spin moment on superconducting Pb(100). Molecular magnetism, which is detected via Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) resonances, may be restored by surrounding a molecule with an array of neighbor molecules in artificial arrays or in a self-assembled monolayer. Unlike phthalocyanine (H2Pc) or lead phthalocyanine (PbPc) monolayers, where the YSR energy was found to depend strongly on the detailed configuration of the neighboring molecules, we find a similar magnetic moment on every second molecule for AlPc. In addition, YSR resonances lead to unusually high conductance peaks that are due to vibrational excitations. Twelve vibrational modes are resolved and discussed with respect to similar results from PbPc. The enhancement of the inelastic transitions is tentatively attributed to the large amplitude of the YSR resonances and the long lifetime of electrons in the molecular bound state. By assembling neighboring molecules into configurations that differ from those of the monolayer, the YSR energy may be fine-tuned, and a simple spin-state switching device is constructed.

Abstract
Phthalocyanines are important organic dyes with a broad applicability in optoelectronics, catalysis, sensing and nanomedicine. Currently, phthalocyanines are synthetized in high boiling organic solvents, like dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), which is a flammable, corrosive, and bioactive substance, miscible with water and harmful to the environment. Here we show a new solid-state approach for the high-yielding synthesis of phthalocyanines, which reduces up to 100-fold the amount of DMAE. Through systematic screening of solid-state reaction parameters, carried out by ball-milling and aging, we reveal the influence of key variables-temperature, presence of a template, and the amount and role of DMAE in the conversion of tBu phthalonitrile to tetra-tBu phthalocyanine. These results set the foundations to synthesize these high-performance dyes through a greener approach, opening the field of solid-state synthesis to a wider family of phthalocyanines.
