1. New synthetic approaches towards functionalized porphyrins and phthalocyanines

Series of substituted phthalonitriles were obtained by means of Pd-catalyzed cyanation reaction in high yields. Analysis of the obtained results together with previously reported data concerning transition metal catalyzed synthesis of phthalonitriles and analogues reveals advantages of each of these methods in comparison with classical approaches - ammonolysis/dehydratation and Rosenmund-Braun cyanation (Figure 1).[3]

Figure 1. Modern synthetic approaches to phthalonitriles with special emphasis on transition-metal catalyzed cyanation reactions.[3]

Synthesis of low-symmetry phthalocyanine analogue annelated with phenanthroline unit was performed, the electronic structure and NH-tautomerism were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and TDDFT calculations (Figure 2).[4]

Synthetic approaches towards meso-RO-appended (R=alkyl, aryl) porphyrins bearing one or two OR substitu-ents at the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle were proposed starting from meso-brominated porphyrins using a SNAr reaction. Moreover, monofunctionalization of porphyrins according to SNAr reaction was used as a key step for the synthesis of rarely explored unsymmetrical porphyrinyl alkyl ethers (Figure 3).[5] This research was carried out in the framework of the International Associated French-Russian Laboratory of Macrocyclic Systems and Related Materials (LIA

The synthesis of functionalized porphyrins and their conjugates from meso-tetraarylporphyrins through the acyl-ation and the oxidation of P-aminoporphyrins was investigated (Figure 4). Mildness and usefulness of this methodol-

ogy were illustrated by several examples including the synthesis of porphyrins bearing receptor groups and water-sol-ubilizing moieties[6] (LAMREM).

A strategy for the post-functionalization of readily accessible meso-formylporphyrins affording meso-(2-imidazolyl)-porphyrins, containing substituents at the 4,5-positions of the imidazole fragment was developed (Figure 5). This methodology was used to prepare a set of representatives of this new type of substituted porphyrins.[7]

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction has been used for the synthesis of tricyclic architectures based on trans-A2B2-porphyrins and bisaminal-protected polyazamacrocy-cles which are linked directly or by a p-phenylene spacer (Figure 6). This modular approach allowed the synthesis of ligands with various substituted porphyrin macrocycles and bisaminal-protected tetraazamacrocycles possessing different cavity sizes. These molecules can be assembled into dimers using a DABCO linker. Deprotection of these compounds afforded porphyrin-bis(polyazamacrocycle) triads[8] (LAMREM).

tion of other metal complexes. The dimeric linked phthalo-cyanine metal complexes may become convenient receptors for recognition of ditopic guests.[9]

A ^-carbido diruthenium(IV) phthalocyanine complex was prepared for the first time from the free-base octabu-toxyphthalocyanine by direct metalation with Ru3(CO)12 (Figure 8). The first examples of the catalytic activity of RuIV binuclear phthalocyanines were demonstrated by the cyclo-propanation of aromatic olefins and carbene insertion into the N-H bonds of aromatic or aliphatic amines with turnover numbers of 680-1000 and 580-1000, respectively.™ This research was performed together with group of Prof. Alexander Sorokin (IRCELYON, France).

2. Synthesis and characterization of novel complexes with tetrapyrrolic ligands

A convenient synthetic approach towards alkyloxy substituted (24-crown-8)-linked dimeric phthalocyanines was developed (Figure 7).

The Mg-templated statistical condensation of the mixture of phthalonitriles was found to be the most efficient and versatile pathway. Demetalation of the resulting Mg phthalocyanines afforded metal-free (24-crown-8)-linked dimeric phthalocyanines as versatile precursors for prepara-

The synthesis and characterization of heteronuclear crown-substituted trisphthalocyaninates was reported (Figure 9). The solid-state structure of complexes was studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, providing therefore a structural model for the assignment and analysis of 1H NMR spectra of the complexes, which is strongly affected by the presence of paramagnetic lanthanide ions.[11]

Magnetic measurements on the homonuclear Tb111 tri-sphthalocyaninate displayed non-negligible ferromagnetic coupling between magnetic ions, eliciting a high zero-field energetic barrier to the magnetic relaxation, while the heteronuclear Tbm/Ym complexes displayed singleion field-induced slow relaxation of the magnetization (Figure 10).[12] This research was performed together with group of Dr. Muralee Murugesu (University of Ottawa, Canada).

3. Phosphorylated porphyrins: from synthesis to materials

The research on phosphorylated porphyrins (Figure 11) was carried out in the framework of the International Associated French-Russian Laboratory of Macrocyclic Systems and Related Materials (LIA LAMREM) together with Prof. Roger Guilard and Dr. Alla Lemeune group (University of Burgundy, France) and Prof. Karl Kadish (Houston University, USA).

A two-step reaction sequence for accessing meso-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins from readily available trans-A2-type porphyrins was developed. This approach involves bromination and subsequent palladium-catalyzed phosphonylation (Figure 12). These compounds, being air-stable and soluble in most organic solvents, are valuable synthetic intermediates because they can be readily transformed into functionalized trans-A2BC-type porphyrins through regioselective functionalization at the unsubstituted meso-position of the macrocycle. Therefore, this approach offers considerable promise for application to the synthesis of trans-A2BC-type porphyrins,

including water-soluble derivatives, push-pull chromo-phores and bis(porphyrin)s.[13,14]

Two series of diphosphoryl-substituted porphyrins were synthesized and characterized by electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry. The free-base and five meta-lated porphyrins with nonredox active centers undergo two ring-centered oxidations and two ring-centered reductions, the latter of which is followed by a chemical reaction of the porphyrin dianion to give an anionic phlorin product (Figure 13). The phlorin anion is electroactive and can be reoxidized by two electrons to give back the starting porphyrin, or it can be reversibly reduced by one electron at more negative potentials to give a phlorin dianion.[15]

Single-crystal X-Ray diffraction analysis was widely used for characterization of newly synthesized meso-phosphorylated porphyrins to study the processes of their self-assembly in crystalline state. The insight into the crystal

packing of phosphorylated porphyrins can be achieved in terms of topological analysis of intermolecular interaction energies (Figure 14).[16]

Figure 14. Insights into the crystal packing of phosphorylporphyrins based on the topology of their intermolecular interaction energies.[16]

Depending on the nature of metal, various types of crystal packing can be obtained. For example, in the case of copper(II) bis-meso-phosphorylated porphyrin the unusual formation of a stable 2D coordination network was observed (Figure 15).[17]

Figure 15. Unusual formation of a stable 2D copper porphyrin network.[17]

A novel series of one-dimensional homo- and het-erometallic coordination polymers was prepared from planar and nonplanar metallo(diphosphoryl)porphyrinates and dicopper(II) tetra-pivalate paddle-wheel complex (Figure 16). In these polymers, paddle-wheel dicopper(II) units

are assembled with porphyrin donors in a 1:1 ratio through axial Cu-O=P coordination.[18]

The synthesis and structural characterization of a series of gallium(III) and indium(III) meso-mono(diethoxyphosphoryl)-porphyrins bearing different peripheral substituents as well as the corresponding monoesters and phosphonic acids was reported (Figure 17). This work described the first example of the X-ray structure of a self-assembled dimer formed via strong binding between the oxygen atom of the phosphorus substituent and the gallium(III) cations of adjacent porphyrin molecules.[19]

4. Molecular switchers and receptors

Synthesis and supramolecular chemistry of crown-substituted phthalocyanines is studied in the group of Asian Tsivadze for more than 20 years.[20] Investigation of their cation-induced self-assembly emphasizes the importance of cooperative effects in supramolecular chemistry of these polytopic receptors (Figure 18).[21]

For the first time single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of supramolecular cation-induced dimer formed by crown-phthalocyanine was reported on the example of [(^-oxo)bis(tetra-15-crown-5-phthalocyanmato)(nico-

tinato)aluminum(III)]-tetra(rubidium) (Figure 19). X-Ray diffraction study of this complex demonstrated that two molecules of the aluminum crown-phthalocyaninate nico-tinate are connected through an Al-O-Al bridge supported by sandwiching of crown ether moieties by Rb+ cations.[22]

On the example of indium(III) crown-phthalocyaninate it was demonstrated that the formation of similar supramo-lecular dimers has profound effects on photophysical properties of phthalocyanines, particularly significant enhancement of complex photostability was observed (Figure 20).[23] Reversible formation of supramolecular cation-induced dimers was used as a powerful tool to control aggregation of new class of panchromatic compounds - crown-substituted oxanthrenocyanines (Figure 21).[24] Peculiarities of UV-Vis spectral properties of these compounds were interpreted by TDDFT calculations and MCD spectroscopy.[25]

Novel "molecular chameleons", namely nonpe-ripherally substituted crown-oxanthrenocyanines were synthesized (Figure 22). Both aggregation of molecules and their participation in an acid-base equilibrium strongly alter their optical properties. Thus, the absorption of complexes can be reversibly tuned from 686 up to 1028 nm by either the cation-induced formation

of supramolecular dimers or the protonation of meso-N atoms of oxanthrenocyanines.[26]

Another representative of the molecular zoo - octopus-like receptor based on phthalocyanines with flexible benzylated diethyleneglycol groups was used as hosts to bind fullerene guests (Figure 23). The binding was studied by spectrophotometric and fluorescence titration. It was shown that the molecule can discriminate C and C

molecules, which was confirmed by quantum-chemical cal-culations.[27]

A cationic molecular turnstile based on a P(V) porphyrin backbone bearing a pyridyl unit at the meso-position and a handle, equipped with a pyridyl moiety, connected to the porphyrin through P-O bonds was designed together with group of Prof. Wais Hosseini group from Strasbourg University, France (Figure 24). The solution dynamic behavior of the turnstile was investigated by NMR techniques. The reversible switching between the open and the closed states of the turnstile was achieved using Ag+ or H+ as external effector.[28]

New class of clamshell-type lanthanide diphthalo-cyaninates bearing 24-crown-8 linking fragment are synthesized and characterized (Figure 25). A strong solvato-chromism of the complexes, allowing switching the wide-range panchromatic absorption in polar solvents, is demonstrated by means of UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopies and attributed to solvent-induced changing of sandwich conformations.[29]

transfer between the electronic system of phthalocyanine to the 4f-orbital of cerium atom (together with group of Prof. V. Arslanov, IPCE RAS) (Figure 26). The understanding of this reversible IET mechanism is especially important due to possible applications of such redox-isomeric systems in the development of nanoscale multibit information storage devices.[30]

5. Photophysical and nonlinear optical properties of tetrapyrrolic compounds

Rich and interesting photophysical behavior of phtha-locyanines affords their wide application in elaboration of optical materials and devices, including fabrication of materials for nonlinear optics. The later research was made in the collaboration with Prof. Tebello Nyokong group (Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa) and group of Prof. A. Vannikov (IPCE RAS).

It was demonstrated, that the A3B-type phthalocya-nine ligand, bearing two [2'-(2''-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]-

substituents and six solubilizing n-butoxy groups reveals good OL properties, exceeding the ones of symmetrical octa-n-butoxyphthalocyanine (Figure 27).[31] Moreover, this ligand was found to be a convenient platform for preparation of sandwich double- and triple-decker complexes, revealing superior OL characteristics which can be further improved by their grafting on the surface of quantum dots modified with mercaptosuccinic acid (Figure 28).[32] Substitution of OH-groups in the starting phthalocyanine with thiols afforded molecule, which could be directly grafted onto the surface of quantum dots and silver nanoparticles (Figure 29).[33]

The crucial role of self-assembly in nonlinear optical properties of phthalocyanines was demonstrated on the example of polymeric composites based on crown-substituted ruthenium phthalocyaninate with axially coordinated pyrazine ligands (Figure 30).[34]

The ability of tetrapyrrolic macrocycles to promote generation of singlet oxygen was used for the elaboration of photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy. Bilayer lipid membares were used as models of cell surfaces for the tests of photodynamic activity of phthalocyanines using voltage-sensitive styryl dyes as singlet oxygen targets (Figure 31).[35]

Photosensitizing and emission properties of P(V) porphyrins were studied. It was demonstrated that the nature of the axial ligands, occupying the apical position on the P centre adopting an octahedral coordination geometry, strongly influences singlet oxygen generation and charge transfer and allows switching between the two processes (Figure 32).[36]
