The present work describes the preparation and characterization of a new cobalt(III) porphyrin coordination compound named (chlorido)(nicotinoylchloride)[meso-tetra(para-chlorophenyl)porphyrinato]cobalt(III) dichloromethane monosolvate with the formula [Co^III(TClPP)Cl(NTC)]·CH₂Cl₂ (4). The single-crystal X-ray molecular structure of 4 shows very important ruffling and waving distortions of the porphyrin macrocycle. The Soret and Q absorption bands of 4 are very red-shifted as a consequence of the very distorted porphyrin core. This coordination compound was also studied by fluorescence and cyclic voltammetry. The efficiency of our four porphyrinic compounds—the H₂TClPP (1) free-base porphyrin, the [Co^II(TClPP)] (2) and [Co^III(TClPP)Cl] (3) starting materials, and the new Co(III) metalloporphyrin [Co^III(TClPP)Cl(NTC)]·CH₂Cl₂ (4)—as catalysts in the photochemical degradation was tested on malachite green (MG) dye. The current voltage of complexes 3 and 4 was also studied. Electrical parameters, including the saturation current density (J_s) and barrier height (ϕ_b), were measured.

This work describes the synthesis of a novel zinc(II) porphyrin complex, namely [Meso-4α-tetra-(1,2,3-triazolyl)phenylporphyrinato]zinc(II) symbolized by 4α-[Zn(TAzPP)] (4), using the click chemistry approach in the presence of copper iodide. All of the synthetic porphyrin species reported herein were fully characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, UV-visible spectroscopy, and fluorescence. To synthesize the 4α-[Zn(TAzPP)] complex (4), we produced 4α-Meso-tetra-o-nitrophenylporphyrin (H₂T_NO2PP) and 4α-meso-tetra-o-aminophenylporphyrin (4α-H₂TNH₂PP) (1) using known classic literature methods. This 4α atropisomer was converted to 4α-meso-tetra-o-azidophenylporphyrin (4α-H₂TN₃PP) (3) by reaction with sodium nitrite and sodium azide, and then it was metalated by Zn(II), leading to [4α-meso-tetra(2-azidophenyl)porphyrinate]zinc(II) (4α-[Zn(TN₃PP)]) (3). The click chemistry synthetic method was finally used to prepare 4α-[Zn(TAzPP)] (4). This new tetracoordinated zinc(II) porphyrin complex was prepared and characterized in order to: (i) produce a receptor for anion recognition and sensing application for Cl⁻ and Br⁻; (ii) study the catalytic decomposition of rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO) dyes; and (iii) determine the electronic characteristics as a photovoltaic device. Complex (4) formed 1:1 complex stoichiometric species with chloride and bromide halides and the average association constants of the 1:1 addicts were ~ 10³. The photodecomposition of RhB and MO dyes in the presence of complex (4) as a catalyst and molecular oxygen showed that complex (4) presented a photodegradation yield of approximately 70% and could be reused for five successive cycles without any obvious change in its catalytic activity. The current-voltage characteristics and impedance spectroscopy measurements of complex (4) confirmed that our zinc(II) metalloporphyrin could be used as a photovoltaic device.

In the title compound, C₂₄H₃₂BrN₃O₂, the six-membered cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation and the isoxasolidine ring adopts a twisted conformation. The molecule has five chiral centres and the absolute configuration has been determined in this analysis. The molecular structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H...O and C—H...N contacts. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming undulating sheets parallel to thebcplane.

The title compound, C₁₅H₁₈ClN₅O₂, crystallizes with two independent molecules (AandB) in the asymmetric unit. In both molecules, the isoxazolidine rings have an envelope conformation with the O atoms at the flap positions. Each molecule has three stereogenic centres with configurations 2(S), 3(S) and 4(R), confirmed by resonant scattering. Their conformations are significantly different, for example in moleculeAthe phenyl ring is inclined to the triazole ring by 32.5 (2)°, while in moleculeBthe corresponding dihedral angle is 10.7 (2)°. In the crystal, theAandBmolecules are linkedviaan N—H...O and a C—H...O hydrogen bond. These units are linked by C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming slabs parallel to theabplane. There are C—H...π interactions present within the slabs.
