Abstract
The development of chromophores that absorb in the near-infrared (NIR) region beyond 1000 nm underpins numerous applications in medical and energy sciences, yet also presents substantial challenges to molecular design and chemical synthesis. Here, the core bacteriochlorin chromophore of nature's NIR absorbers, bacteriochlorophylls, has been adapted and tailored by annulation in an effort to achieve absorption in the NIR-II region. The resulting bacteriochlorin, Phen2,1-BC, contains two annulated naphthalene groups spanning meso,β-positions of the bacteriochlorin and the 1,2-positions of the naphthalene. Phen2,1-BC was prepared via a new synthetic route. Phen2,1-BC is an isomer of previously examined Phen-BC, which differs only in attachment via the 1,8-positions of the naphthalene. Despite identical π-systems, the two bacteriochlorins have distinct spectroscopic and photophysical features. Phen-BC has long-wavelength absorption maximum (912 nm), oscillator strength (1.0), and S1 excited-state lifetime (150 ps) much different than Phen2,1-BC (1292 nm, 0.23, and 0.4 ps, respectively). These two molecules and an analogue with intermediate characteristics bearing annulated phenyl rings have unexpected properties relative to those of non-annulated counterparts. Understanding the distinctions requires extending concepts beyond the four-orbital-model description of tetrapyrrole spectroscopic features. In particular, a reduction in symmetry resulting from annulation results in electronic mixing of x- and y-polarized transitions/states, as well as vibronic coupling that together reduce oscillator strength of the long-wavelength absorption manifold and shorten the S1 excited-state lifetime. Collectively, the results suggest a heuristic for the molecular design of tetrapyrrole chromophores for deep penetration into the relatively unutilized NIR-II region.

Abstract
Bacteriochlorophylls, nature's near-infrared absorbers, play an essential role in energy transfer in photosynthetic antennas and reaction centers. To probe energy-transfer processes akin to those in photosynthetic systems, nine synthetic bacteriochlorin-bacteriochlorin dyads have been prepared wherein the constituent pigments are joined at the meso-positions by a phenylethyne linker. The phenylethyne linker is an unsymmetric auxochrome, which differentially shifts the excited-state energies of the phenyl- or ethynyl-attached bacteriochlorin constituents in the dyad. Molecular designs utilized known effects of macrocycle substituents to engineer bacteriochlorins with S0 → S1 (Qy) transitions spanning 725-788 nm. The design-predicted donor-acceptor excited-state energy gaps in the dyads agree well with those obtained from time dependent density functional theory calculations and with the measured range of 197-1089 cm-1. Similar trends with donor-acceptor excited-state energy gaps are found for (1) the measured ultrafast energy-transfer rates of (0.3-1.7 ps)-1, (2) the spectral overlap integral (J) in Förster energy-transfer theory, and (3) donor-acceptor electronic mixing manifested in the natural transition orbitals for the S0 → S1 transition. Subtle outcomes include the near orthogonal orientation of the π-planes of the bacteriochlorin macrocycles, and the substituent-induced shift in transition-dipole moment from the typical coincidence with the NH-NH axis; the two features together afforded the Förster orientation term κ2 ranging from 0.55-1.53 across the nine dyads, a value supportive of efficient excited-state energy transfer. The molecular design and collective insights on the dyads are valuable for studies relevant to artificial photosynthesis and other processes requiring ultrafast energy transfer.

Abstract
A synthetic route to gem-dimethyl-substituted bacteriochlorins—models of native bacteriochlorophylls—relies on the formation of a dihydrodipyrrin precursor via a series of established reactions: van Leusen pyrrole formation, Vilsmeier formylation, Henry reaction, borohydride reduction, Michael addition, and McMurry–Melton pyrroline formation. The latter is the least known of the series. Here, the McMurry–Melton reaction of a 2-(6-oxo-2-nitrohexyl)pyrrole in the presence of TiCl3 and an ammonium acetate buffer formed the expected Δ1-pyrroline, as well as an unexpected polar, cyclic byproduct (a 5,6-dihydro-4H-1,2-oxazin-6-ol), each attached to the 2-methylpyrrole unit. Both species were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The McMurry–Melton reaction is a type of intercepted Nef reaction (the transformation of a nitroalkyl motif into a carbonyl group), where both the Δ1-pyrroline and the dihydrooxazine derive from the reaction of the nitrogen derived from the nitro group upon complete or partial reductive deoxygenation, respectively, with the γ-keto group. The report also considers competing Nef and McMurry–Melton reactions, the nature of available TiCl3 reagents, and the use of ammonium acetate for buffering the TiCl3/HCl reagent.

Abstract
Macrocyclic π-skeletons containing a thiazole moiety were synthesized via MacDonald [3 + 1]-type condensation. The construction of thiazolochlorin 1a and thiazoloporphyrin 1b depended on the conformation of the thiazole moieties, and their 18π-systems expanded along the molecular y and x axes, respectively. In particular, the structure of thiazolochlorin 1a was studied in detail using 2D nuclear magnetic resonance methods. The optical properties in solution were measured and discussed based on both experimental data and computational studies.

Abstract
Native chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls share a common trans-substituted pyrroline ring D (17-propionic acid, 18-methyl), whereas diversity occurs in ring A particularly at the 3-position. Two dihydrodipyrrins equipped with native-like D-ring substituents and tailorable A-ring substituents have been synthesized. The synthesis relies on a Schreiber-modified Nicholas reaction to construct the stereochemically defined precursor to ring D, a dialkyl-substituted pent-4-ynoic acid. The carboxylic acid group of the intact propionic acid proved unworkable, whereupon protected propionate (-CO2tBu) and several latent propyl ethers were examined. The tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-protected propanol substituent proved satisfactory for reaction of the chiral N-acylated oxazolidinone, affording (2S,3S)-2-(3-((tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)oxy)propyl)-3-methylpent-4-ynoic acid in ∼30% yield over 8 steps. Two variants for ring A, 2-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-Br/H-5-iodo-4-methylpyrrole, were prepared via the Barton-Zard route. Dihydrodipyrrin formation from the pyrrole and pentynoic acid entailed Jacobi Pd-mediated lactone formation, Petasis methenylation, and Paal-Knorr-type pyrroline formation. The two AD-dihydrodipyrrins bear the D-ring methyl and protected propanol groups with a stereochemical configuration identical to that of native (bacterio)chlorophylls, and a bromine or no substitution in ring A corresponding to the 3-position of (bacterio)chlorophylls. The analogous β-position of a lactone-pyrrole intermediate on the path to the dihydrodipyrrin also was successfully brominated, opening opportunities for late-stage diversification in the synthesis of (bacterio)chlorophylls.

Abstract
The synthesis, photophysical properties and electronic structure of seven new chlorin dyads and associated benchmark monomers are described. Each dyad contains two identical chlorins linked at the macrocycle [Formula: see text]-pyrrole 13-position. The extent of electronic communication between chlorin constituents depends on the nature of the conjugated linker. The communication is assessed by modification of prominent ground-state absorption and redox properties, rate constants and yields of excited-state decay processes, and molecular-orbital characteristics. Relative to the benchmark monomers, the chlorin dyads in toluene exhibit a substantial bathochromic shift of the long-wavelength absorption band (30 nm average), two-fold increased radiative rate constant [average (10 ns)[Formula: see text] vs. (22 ns)[Formula: see text]], reduced singlet excited-state lifetimes (average 5.0 ns vs. 8.2 ns), and increased fluorescence quantum yields (average 0.56 vs. 0.42). The excited-state lifetime and fluorescence yield for the chlorin dyad with a benzothiadiazole linker are reduced substantially in benzonitrile vs. toluene due largely to [Formula: see text]25-fold accelerated internal conversion. The results aid design strategies for molecular architectures that may find utility in solar-energy conversion and photomedicine.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used to treat various cancerous diseases. Recently, we have demonstrated that platinated pyridyl-substituted porphyrins are potent agents for PDT with very high phototoxicity (IC50 down to 17 nM) and excellent phototoxic indices of higher than 5800 (p.i. = IC50(dark)/IC50(light)) [Rubbiani, R. et al., Chem. Commun. 2020, 56, 14373]. However, the absorption of porphyrins is not ideal for the treatment of larger tumors because they essentially do not absorb light between 650 and 850 nm. Herein, we report stable conjugates of a novel bacteriochlorin with cisplatin and transplatin. They exhibit extremely high phototoxicity (IC50 values down to 6 nM, irradiated with a 750 nm LED at a fluence of 5 J/cm2), very low dark toxicity, and thereby extremely high phototoxic indices up to 8300. Based on these exciting results, we believe that platinated bacteriochlorins are promising candidates for further investigation as novel PDT anticancer agents.

Abstract
Riley oxidation of advanced heterocyclic intermediates (dihydrodipyrrins and tetrahydrodipyrrins) is pivotal in routes to synthetic hydroporphyrins including chlorins, bacteriochlorins, and model (bacterio)chlorophylls. Such macrocycles find wide use in studies ranging from energy sciences to photomedicine. The key transformation (–CH3 → –CHO) is often inefficient, however, thereby crimping the synthesis of hydroporphyrins. The first part of the review summarizes 12 representative conditions for Riley oxidation across diverse (non-hydrodipyrrin) substrates. An interlude summarizes the proposed mechanisms and provides context concerning the nature of various selenium species other than SeO2. The second part of the review comprehensively reports the conditions and results upon Riley oxidation of 45 1-methyltetrahydrodipyrrins and 1-methyldihydrodipyrrins. A comparison of the results provides insights into the tolerable structural features for Riley oxidation of hydrodipyrrins. In general, Riley oxidation of dihydrodipyrrins has a broad scope toward substituents, but proceeds in only modest yield. Too few tetrahydrodipyrrins have been examined to draw conclusions concerning scope. New reaction conditions or approaches will be required to achieve high yields for this critical transformation in the synthesis of hydroporphyrins.

Abstract
Chlorins provide many ideal features for use as red-region fluorophores but require molecular tailoring for solubilization in aqueous solution. A chlorin building-block bearing 18,18-dimethyl, 15-bromo and 10-[2,4,6-tris(propargyloxy)phenyl] substituents has been transformed via click chemistry with CH3(OCH2CH[Formula: see text]-N3 followed by Suzuki coupling with 3-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid, thereby installing a water-solubilization motif and a bioconjugatable handle, respectively. In toluene, [Formula: see text]-dimethylformamide (DMF) or water, the resulting facially encumbered free base chlorin exhibits characteristic chlorin absorption ([Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]412, 643 nm) and fluorescence ([Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]645 nm) spectra with only modest variation in fluorescence quantum yield ([Formula: see text] values (0.24, 0.25 and 0.19, respectively). The zinc chlorin derived therefrom exhibits similar spectral constancy ([Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]414 and 613 nm, [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]616 nm) and [Formula: see text] 0.094, 0.10 and 0.086 in the three solvents. The results together indicate the viability of the molecular design and synthetic methodology to create red-region fluorophores for use in diverse applications.
