Shape-persistent phthalocyanine cages

Cofacial porphyrin organic cages. Metals regulating excitation electron transfer and CO2 reduction electrocatalytic properties

“…The cofacial cobalt porphyrin 111 and metallomacrocycle-based POCs 115,116 have been demonstrated to possess active electrocatalytic capability towards the CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). Prior to the electrocatalysis, the permanent porosities of amorphous CPOC-Co were determined with a carbon dioxide sorption test at ambient temperatures.…”

Progress of porous organic cages in photo/electrocatalytic energy conversion and storage applications

“…4). 35 Metallic Pcs such as ZnPc and NiPc cages were synthesized via dynamic spiroborate exchange from diol-boronic acid condensation to form a spiroboronic ester bond using zinc or nickel phthalocyanine octaphenol (Zn or Ni Pc-8OH), [1,1 0 :4 0 ,1 0 0 0 -triphenyl]-2,2 0 0 0 3,3 0 0 0 -tetraphenol (Tp-4OH) and boronic acid as precursors. Moreover, cage products in yields of about 70% were obtained in DMF at 150 1C in 1 h and further purified by recrystallization.…”

A Tröger's base-linked aluminium phthalocyanine polymer for discriminative electrochemical sensing of the antibiotic isoniazid

“…The highly aromatic conjugated structure of phthalocyanine theoretically confers strong electrocatalytic ability. 29 Therefore, phthalocyanine-based POPs have great potential as sensing materials. Moreover, the introduction of additional transition metals into this type of polymer network causes a more pronounced effect on the electrocatalytic reaction.…”
