    Cancer cell–derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have unique protein profiles, making them promising targets as disease biomarkers. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the deadly subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer, and we aimed to identify HGSOC-specific membrane proteins. Small EVs (sEVs) and medium/large EVs (m/lEVs) from cell lines or patient serum and ascites were analyzed by LC-MS/MS, revealing that both EV subtypes had unique proteomic characteristics. Multivalidation steps identified FRα, Claudin-3, and TACSTD2 as HGSOC-specific sEV proteins, but m/lEV-associated candidates were not identified. In addition, for using a simple-to-use microfluidic device for EV isolation, polyketone-coated nanowires (pNWs) were developed, which efficiently purify sEVs from biofluids. Multiplexed array assays of sEVs isolated by pNW showed specific detectability in cancer patients and predicted clinical status. In summary, the HGSOC-specific marker detection by pNW are a promising platform as clinical biomarkers, and these insights provide detailed proteomic aspects of diverse EVs in HGSOC patients.

    Visual observations are frequently used as a preliminary evaluation of the chemical contents of mixtures, but their accuracy largely depends on the observer’s experience and intuition, which are difficult to share. Here, we report component ratio pre-diction using image-based machine learning (ML), which is applicable to analysis of various solid mixtures, such as mix-tures of organics and inorganics, polymorphous crystals, and enantiomers. The trained model with 300 images could predict the sugar/dietary salt weight ratio from an image within 4% error. The ML prediction pipeline was shown to be broadly ap-plicable to polymorphic glycine, D/L-tartaric acid, and four-component systems. As an application demonstration, we also used our ML system to analyze yield of a solid-state decarboxylation reaction. These results demonstrated that accumulation of researchers’ experience derived from visual information can be shared as trained ML models and used as a quantitative analysis method.

    In this study, we have demonstrated a two-legged, upright molecular design method for monochromatic and bright red luminescent LnIII -silica nanomaterials. A novel EuIII -silica hybrid nanoparticle was developed by using a doubly binding TPPO-Si(OEt)3 (TPPO: triphenyl phosphine oxide) linker. The TPPO-Si(OEt)3 was confirmed by 1 H, 31 P, 29 Si NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray analysis. Luminescent Eu(hfa)3 and Eu(tfc)3 moieties (hfa: hexafluoroacetylacetonate, tfc: 3-(trifluoromethylhydroxymethylene)camphorate) were fixed onto TPPO-Si(OEt)3 -modified silica nanoparticles, producing Eu(hfa)3 (TPPO-Si)2 -SiO2 and Eu(tfc)3 (TPPO-Si)2 -SiO2 , respectively. Eu(hfa)3 (TPPO-Si)2 -SiO2 exhibited the higher intrinsic luminescence quantum yield (93 %) and longer emission lifetime (0.98 ms), which is much larger than those of previously reported EuIII -based hybrid materials. Eu(tfc)3 (TPPO-Si)2 -SiO2 showed an extra-large intrinsic emission quantum yield (54 %), although the emission quantum yield for the precursor Eu(tfc)3 (TPPO-Si(OEt)3 )2 was found to be 39 %. These results confirmed that the TPPO-Si(OEt)3 linker is a promising candidate for development of EuIII -based luminescent materials.

    Metal ion adsorbents are indispensable materials for the recovery of noble metal ions in a sustainable society. Herein, we report that poly(isopyrazole-3,5-diyl-trans-vinylene) (1) effectively adsorbed group 10 metal ions from solution in acetonitrile. Owing to its fully pi-conjugated and rigid structure, polyimine 1 was virtually insoluble in common organic solvents and water, making it advantageous for metal ion adsorption via a solid/liquid interface. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis showed that >= 90 % of Ni2+, Pd2+, and Pt2+ ions were adsorbed at a concentration of 10 mu M (order of <= 2 ppm) after stirring suspensions at room temperature. Metal ion desorption was achieved by treatment with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA . 2Na), and the adsorbent was reused. Theoretical calculations supported that the desolvation energy was an important factor for effective adsorption in acetonitrile.

    Conformational control of aliphatic oligoketones bearing two 1,3-diketone subunits is achieved by molecular recognition with pillar[5]arene. Pillar[S]arene binds to aliphatic ketones, with association constants K of similar to 10 M-1, to form pseudorotaxanes. The pseudorotaxanes are locked by BF, complexation at the 1,3-diketone sites through quasi-solid-state reactions. X-ray crystallography reveals linear conformations for the axis molecules. The effect of supramolecular conformational restriction is evaluated using an alkyl-linked dyad chromophore system that shows solvatochromism upon intramolecular aggregation.

    Copyright © 2020 American Chemical Society. The self-assembly of organic molecules at the surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) is a promising process for constructing molecular-scale architectures. However, selectable organic molecules are generally restricted to two-dimensional molecules with planar Ï-conjugated structures and alkyl chains. We herein present the formation of self-assembled monolayers of tetrakis(4-ethynylphenyl)methane (TEPM) having a three-dimensional (3D) tetrapod geometry on HOPG, which was achieved by utilizing a simple spin-coating method. The arrangements of TEPM molecules in the monolayers were investigated using frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy (FM-AFM). The resulting subnanometer-resolution FM-AFM images revealed that the TEPM molecules formed linear rows with a periodicity of 0.85 nm oriented in a parallel configuration but with two alternating intervals of 0.7 and 1.0 nm. Moreover, the TEPM monolayers were classified into two chiral types with a relationship of mutual mirror-image symmetry, according to the observed molecular arrangements. Our results demonstrate the capability of TEPM molecules to act as 3D building blocks for the design of molecular-scale architectures at interfaces.

    Peptidoglycan is an indispensable component of bacterial cell walls. We recently discovered an alternative peptidoglycan biosynthetic pathway, which involves two enzymes, MurD2 and MurL, catalyzing the ligation of l-Glu to UDP-MurNAc-l-Ala and epimerization of the terminal l-Glu of the MurD2 product, respectively. Because the pathway operates in Xanthomonas oryze, a pathogen causing bacterial blight of rice, we searched for specific inhibitors from metabolites produced by actinomycetes to obtain a lead compound to function as an agrochemical. Actinomycin D was isolated from Streptomyces parvulus NBRC 13193 as a specific inhibitor of the pathway. In vitro analysis indicated that actinomycin D inhibited the MurD2 reaction.

    One- and two-dimensional coordination polymers composed of a structurally flexible, tetradentate diisopyrazole ligand and copper(I) halides were synthesized as crystalline solids. Complexation with copper(I) chloride or bromide resulted in the formation of infinite coordination chains through connecting each diisopyrazole ligand with two copper(I) ions in a trigonal planar coordination geometry. Contrarily, the combination of a diisopyrazole ligand and copper(I) iodide gave a two-dimensional coordination network comprising Cu4I4 units with stair-step type geometry and diisopyrazoles that acted as both tetradentate and bidentate bridging ligands. All the coordination polymers exhibited visible photo-emission upon UV irradiation, and the Cu4I4 complex showed thermochromic behavior.

    A dodecahexaene analogue cross-conjugated with four carbonyl groups was prepared from an aliphatic tetraketone. Exposure to LED light (>420 nm) led to the splitting of the dodecahexaene conjugation into two hexatriene subunits, connected through a stereogenic carbon atom. The two triene subunits exhibited excitonic coupling in the UV-Vis absorption and CD spectra.

    Copyright © 2019 American Chemical Society. A Rh-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular Buchner ring expansion of α-alkyl-α-diazoesters has been developed. The present protocol generates a 5,7-fused ring system in an enantioselective manner while minimizing β-hydrogen migration, which has been a competing reaction when using α-alkyl-α-diazoesters. The ester functionality at the bridgehead position would be a useful synthetic handle for further derivatization to complex molecules including natural products.

    The chemo- and stereo-selective two-step transformation of aliphatic polyketones composed of 3,3-dimethylpentane-2,4-dione units was achieved to generate pi-conjugated polyimines. Upon treatment with hydrazine, discrete oligoketones with 4-8 carbonyl groups afforded ethylene-bridged oligoisopyrazoles in 80-89% yields. These oligoisopyrazoles underwent stereoselective oxidation at the ethylene bridge to give fully pi-conjugated oligo(isopyrazole-3,5-diyl-trans-vinylene)s in 73-87% yields. Oxidation of the oligoimines drastically changed their absorption and metal-coordination behaviors. Finally, this two-step transformation was applied to polydisperse polymers. Imine formation proceeded almost quantitatively, even for longer polyketones, including docosamer. Subsequent oxidation of the polyimines furnished a virtually insoluble material that showed broad and red-shifted solid-state absorption over the whole visible region resulting from extended pi-conjugation.

    Structurally flexible oligoisopyrazole molecules were self-assembled into discrete complexes with structural diversity upon palladium coordination. Structural convergence was controlled by a stoichiometry change to induce stepwise metal coordination of isopyrazole subunits. Three different types of complexes were selectively generated from a diisopyrazole ligand. Furthermore, tetraisopyrazole ligands were quantitatively assembled into a discrete complex in a predictable manner.

    Abstract Flexible chain-like molecules can adopt various conformations, but fabrication of complex and higher-order architectures by chain networking or coiling is still a difficult task in organic chemistry. As the degree of freedom increases, the large entropy loss impedes conformation and orientation fixing. Here we report oligo (3,3-dimethylpentane-2,4-dione)s as flexible and shapable carbon chains with many carbonyl groups for chemical modification. Polycarbonylated chains of various lengths are synthesized by terminal-selective silylation and oxidative coupling reactions using silver(I) oxide. We use reactions of 1,3-diketones and 1,4-diketones to reduce the chain length and to induce favourable conformations. When the chains are treated with hydrazine, all the carbonyl groups are converted to imine groups, resulting in the formation of multidentate ligands. Finally, a two-dimensional sheet-like structure and a cylindrical assembly are generated by respectively networking and coiling the carbon chains, with the aid of metal coordination.

    We report a bioinspired synthesis of 2,5-dihydropentalene-based chromophores from an aliphatic oligoketone bearing 1,3- and 1,4-diketone subunits. Unlike the natural polyketone sequence, fused five-membered rings were formed via an intramolecular aldol condensation. A subsequent Knoevenagel condensation reaction with malononitrile furnished a multiply cross-conjugated π-system with low-lying LUMO levels. Furthermore, pentalenes obtained from a non-conjugated aliphatic chain exhibited visible absorption and solid-state fluorescence.

    Volatile organic compounds are widely present as scents and odors in our daily lives and are readily found in a variety of natural extracts. Because these compounds are highly volatile and usually available only in minute quantities, little attention has been paid to X-ray diffraction as a technique for their structure determination. Here, we show that the structures of volatile organic compounds are easily elucidated using minute quantities of the compounds and the crystalline sponge method. The compound vapors can be directly absorbed into the sponge crystals, or alternatively, preparative gas chromatography can be used to separate the desired compound from a natural mixture.

    Crystalline sponges are porous metal complexes that can absorb and orient common organic molecules in their pores and make them observable by conventional X-ray structure analysis (crystalline sponge method). In this study, all of the steps in the crystalline sponge method, including sponge crystal preparation, pore-solvent exchange, guest soaking, data collection and crystallographic analysis, are carefully examined and thoroughly optimized to provide reliable and meaningful chemical information as chemical crystallography. Major improvements in the method have been made in the guest-soaking and data-collection steps. In the soaking step, obtaining a high site occupancy of the guest is particularly important, and dominant parameters for guest soaking (e.g. temperature, time, concentration, solvents) therefore have to be optimized for every sample compound. When standard conditions do not work, a high-throughput method is useful for efficiently optimizing the soaking conditions. The X-ray experiments are also carefully re-examined. Significant improvement of the guest data quality is achieved by complete data collection at high angle regions. The appropriate disorder treatment of the most flexible ZnI2 portions of the host framework and refinement of the solvents filling the remaining void are also particularly important for obtaining better data quality. A benchmark test for the crystalline sponge method toward an achiral molecule is proposed with a guaiazulene guest, in which the guest structure (with similar to 100% site occupancy) is refined without applying any restraints or constraints. The obtained data quality with R-int = 0.0279 and R-1 = 0.0379 is comparable with that of current conventional crystallographic analysis for small molecules. Another benchmark test for this method toward a chiral molecule is also proposed with a santonin guest. The crystallographic data obtained [R-int = 0.0421, R-1 = 0.0312, Flack (Parsons) = -0.0071 (11)] represents the potential ability of this method for reliable absolute structure determination.

    A coordination network composed of a mannose-based organic ligand and a sodium ion, 'sugar sponge', was synthesized for the crystalline sponge analysis of hydrophilic compounds. Owing to multiple hydrogen-bonding interactions, hydrophilic guests are firmly trapped in the 1-dimensional channel. The sugar sponge was utilized to analyze the structures of flexible alcohol and absolute configurations of chiral epoxides.

    The structures of metabolites produced in microgram quantities by enzymatic reductions with baker's yeast were analyzed using the crystalline sponge method. The X-ray data provided reliable structures for trace metabolites including their relative and absolute stereochemistries that are not fully addressed by conventional NMR and LC-MS analyses. Technically, combining two or more chromatographic purification techniques is essential because, unlike abundant synthetic compounds, extracted metabolites contain many low level UV-silent impurities. The crystalline sponge method coupled with HPLC purification (LC-SCD) would thus be a useful method for metabolic analysis and drug discovery.

    We have developed a new synthetic protocol for the preparation of a microcrystalline powder (median size: X-50 = 25 mu m) of networked M6L4 cages 1a for the stationary phase of an affinity column on a greater than 50 g scale. Analogously to large single crystals 1b (X-50 approximate to 0.5 mm), microcrystals 1a accommodate guest molecules tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and fullerene (C-60) at up to 32 and 35 wt %, respectively. Importantly, the hostguest interactions within networked cages could be evaluated in terms of the retention time from HPLC analysis by using microcrystals 1a as the stationary phase. In this way, favorable guests for networked cages 1 and even solution M6L4 cage 2 could easily be assessed by HPLC.

    Porous coordination networks have two distinctive characteristics: robust coordination frameworks and fluid pores wherein molecules are mobile. These characteristics allow solution chemistry to be performed in the crystalline state, thus enabling single-crystal X-ray observation of various reactions and host-guest complexation usually observed in solution. From this viewpoint, porous coordination networks can be used as a tool for visualizing solution-based chemical reactions. Using this tool, we have visualized chemical reactions within porous coordination network crystals to elucidate the reaction mechanisms and to determine the molecular structures of the products and intermediates. When the nanospace of porous coordination networks is cleverly designed on the basis of the structures of hollow molecular hosts in solution, solution-like host guest chemistry is also reproduced in crystals, therefore enabling their visualization by X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, a new method based on crystalline-state host-guest chemistry was developed for the single-crystal X-ray analysis of trace amounts of noncrystalline compounds using porous coordination networks. In this account, we review and discuss the visualization of unique solution-like phenomena by single-crystal X-ray analysis using porous coordination networks as crystalline hosts.

    Electrochemical reactions are shown to be effective for the C-H functionalization of a number of heterocyclic substrates that are recalcitrant to conventional peroxide radical initiation conditions. Monitoring reaction progress under electrochemical conditions provides mechanistic insight into the C-H functionalization of a series of heterocycles of interest in medicinal chemistry.

    Pd-mediated aromatic bromination is intriguing to synthetic and organometallic chemists due to both its synthetic utility and, more importantly, a proposed mechanism involving an uncommon Pd(IV)/Pd(II) catalytic cycle. Here, we report an X-ray snapshot observation of a Pd reaction center during a Pd-mediated aromatic bromination in a single crystal of a porous coordination network crystalline scaffold. Upon treatment of a single crystal with N-bromosuccinimide, sequential X-ray snapshots revealed that the aryl-Pd(II)-L species embedded in the network pores was converted to the brominated aryl product through a transient aryl-Pd(II)-Br species, which is normally unobservable because of its rapid dimerization into insoluble Pd-2(mu-Br)(2) species. Though the reaction pathway may be biased by the crystalline state, the new X-ray snapshot method relies on crystalline flasks to provide important mechanistic insight.

    We recently reported a new method for single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCD) analysis that does not require the crystallization of the target compound. In this 'crystal-free' crystallography, a tiny crystal of a porous complex is soaked in the solution of the target guest. The guest molecules are absorbed and oriented in the crystal pores and can be analyzed by X-ray diffraction. We describe here a detailed synthetic protocol for the preparation of uniform single crystals of the porous host complex and for the subsequent guest uptake. The protocol describes our most versatile porous complex, which is prepared from commercially available ZnI2 and 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine. The host complex has large pores with a cross-section of 8 x 5 angstrom(2). Single crystals of the complex are grown from layered solutions of the two components. The pores of the as-synthesized complex are filled with nitrobenzene, which is replaced with the inert solvent cyclohexane. This solvent exchange is essential for the rapid and effective inclusion of target compounds. The most crucial and delicate step is the selection of high-quality single crystals from the mixture of crystals of various shapes and sizes. We suggest using the facial indices of the single crystals as a criterion for crystal selection. Single-crystal samples for X-ray analysis can be prepared by immersing the selected crystals in a cyclohexane/dichloromethane solution of target compound. After a very slow evaporation of the solvent, typically over 2 d, the final crystal can be picked and directly subjected to SCD analysis. The protocol can be completed within similar to 16 d.

    Reactive acrylate esters were encapsulated in the cavity of networked molecular capsules in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal fashion. Owing to the encapsulation effect, acrylates inside the capsules do not undergo polymerization upon irradiation with UV light or heating, while the guest molecules can be quantitatively extracted by treatment with toluene.

    X-ray single-crystal diffraction (SCD) analysis has the intrinsic limitation that the target molecules must be obtained as single crystals. Here we report a protocol for SCD analysis that does not require the crystallization of the sample. In our method, tiny crystals of porous complexes are soaked in a solution of the target, such that the complexes can absorb the target molecules. Crystallographic analysis clearly determines the absorbed guest structures along with the host frameworks. Because the SCD analysis is carried out on only one tiny crystal of the complex, the required sample mass is of the nanogram-microgram order. We demonstrate that as little as about 80 nanograms of a sample is enough for the SCD analysis. In combination with high-performance liquid chromatography, our protocol allows the direct characterization of multiple fractions, establishing a prototypical means of liquid chromatography SCD analysis. Furthermore, we unambiguously determined the structure of a scarce marine natural product using only 5 micrograms of the compound.

    Two substrates, 4-hydroxydiphenylamine (3) and ethyl isocyanate (4), were successively introduced into the crystals of networked M6L4 cages 1. Because of the encapsulation effect, most of the initially introduced substrate 3 remained within the crystals during immersion in a solution of 4. X-ray analysis revealed that before the reaction, the nucleophilic NH group of 3 is effectively protected by tight packing within the cage units while the OH group is exposed to the incoming second substrate. Successive introduction of 4 into the crystal results in the chemoselective acylation of 3 at the less nucleophilic OH group. The observed chemoselectivity is consistent with that exhibited by discrete M6L4 cage 2 in solution.

    A variety of host compounds have been used as molecular-scale reaction vessels, protecting guests from their environment or restricting the space available around them, thus favouring particular reactions. Such molecular 'flasks' can endow guest molecules with reactivities that differ from those in bulk solvents. Here, we extend this concept to crystalline molecular flasks, solid-state crystalline networks with pores within which pseudo-solution-state reactions can take place. As the guest molecules can spontaneously align along the walls and channels of the hosts, structural changes in the substrates can be directly observed by in situ X-ray crystallography during reaction. Recently, this has enabled observation of the molecular structures of transient intermediates and other labile species, in the form of sequential structural snapshots of the chemical transformation. Here, we describe the principles, development and applications of crystalline molecular flasks.

    Many molecular cages selectively bind guests in solution, but in the solid state close packing often prevents guest entry, which renders the cages inactive. We envisioned that coordination networks constructed from well-known molecular cages could transfer the richness of solution-state host-guest chemistry into the solid state. We report a crystalline coordination network generated from an infinite array of octahedral M(6)L(4) cage subunits (M = metal, L = ligand). This coordination network is a 'crystalline molecular sponge' engineered on the molecular level and retains similar guest recognition properties to those found in solution. The network crystallinity is robust and thus X-ray diffraction analysis can be used to unambiguously observe single-crystal to single-crystal guest inclusion. The void spaces define alternating M(12)L(8) and M(12)L(24) cuboctahedral molecular cages and these large cages absorb up to 35 weight per cent of C(60) or C(70) by simply soaking the crystals in a toluene solution of the fullerene. When the crystals are immersed in fullerene mixtures, C(70) is preferentially absorbed.

    Effective peripheral fabrication methods of meso-aryl-substituted subporphyrins were explored for the first time. Hexabrominated subporphyrins 2 were prepared quantitatively from the bromination of subporphyrins 1 with bromine. Hexaphenylated subporphyrins 3 and hexaethynylated subporphyrins 4 and 5 were synthesized by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and Stille coupling, respectively, in good yields. X-ray crystal structures of 2b, 3b, 4b, and 5a revealed preservation of the bowl-shaped bent Structures with bowl depths similar to that of 1. Hexaethynylated subporphyrins exhibit large two-photon-absorption cross-sections clue to effective delocalization of the conjugated network to the ethynyl substituents.

    Capped subporphyrins 12-16 with C(3) molecular symmetry were synthesized from 5,10,15-tri(3-aminophenyl)-substituted subporphyrin 8 and tripodal trialdehydes 2-6 by Lindsey's entropically favored macrocyclization. X-ray diffraction analysis has revealed that the concave surface of the subporphyrin core is selectively capped with a 1,3,5-substituted benzene moiety. Capped subporphyrins 15 and 16, with a five-atom arm and thus large inner cavities, exhibit solvent incorporation behavior in their crystal structures. On the other hand, subporphyrins 12 and 13 exhibit tight structures, in which the cap and subporphyrin core are found much closer with average interplanar separations of 3.56 and 3.15 angstrom, respectively. Variable-temperature (1)H NMR measurements revealed that subporphyrins 12, 13, and 16 undergo spiral interconversions between P and M forms depending on the arm length and the electronic nature of the cap. Of these, subporphyrin 13, with a 1,3,5-tri(alkoxycarbonyl)benzene cap strapped by three-atom arms, exhibits a considerably slow spiral interconversion with a large enthalpy change of Delta H(not equal)= 76.4 kJ mol(-1) and a characteristic red-shift of the Soret-like band and enhancement of the Q(0,0) band. These properties are ascribed to considerable through-space charge-transfer interactions between the electron-deficient cap and the subporphyrin core and the multiple CH-pi interactions.

    Donor-acceptor systems based on subporphyrins with nitro and amino substituents at meta and para positions of the meso-phenyl groups were synthesized and their photophysical properties have been systematically investigated. These molecules show two types of charge-transfer interactions, that is, from center to periphery and periphery to center depending on the peripheral substitution, in which the subporphyrin moiety plays a dual role as both donor and acceptor. Based on the solvent-polarity-dependent photophysical properties, we have shown that the fluorescence emission of para isomers originates from the solvatochromic, dipolar, symmetry-broken, and relaxed excited states, whereas the non-solvatochromic fluorescence of meta isomers is of the octupolar type with false symmetry breaking. The restricted meso-(4-aminophenyl) rotation at low temperature prevents the intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT)-forming process. The two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-section values were determined by photoexcitation at 800 nm in nonpolar toluene and polar acetonitrile solvents to see the effect of ICT on the TPA processes. The large enhancement in the TPA cross-section value of approximately 3200 GM (1 GM = 10(-50) cm(4)s photon(-1)) with donor-acceptor substitution has been attributed to the octupolar effect and ICT interactions. A correlation was found between the electron-donating/-withdrawing abilities of the peripheral groups and the TPA cross-section values, that is, p-aminophenyl > m-aminophenyl > nitrophenyl. The increased stability of octupolar ICT interactions in highly polar solvents enhances the TPA cross-section value by a factor of approximately 2 and 4, respectively, for p-amino- and m-nitrophenyl-substituted subporphyrins. On the other hand, the stabilization of the symmetry-broken, dipolar ICT state gives rise to a negligible impact on the TPA processes.

    meso-Aryl-substituted [28]hexaphyrins(1.1.1.1.1.1) have been examined by (1)H, (13)C, and (19)F NMR spectroscopies, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All of these data consistently indicate that [28]hexaphyrins(1.1.1.1.1.1) in solution at 25 degrees C exist largely as an equilibrium among several rapidly interconverting twisted Mobius conformations with distinct aromaticities, with a small contribution from a planar rectangular conformation with antiaromatic character at slightly higher energy. In the solid state, [28]hexaphyrins(1.1.1.1.1.1) take either planar or Mobius-twisted conformations, depending upon the meso-aryl substituents and crystallization conditions, indicating a small energy difference between the two conformers. Importantly, when the temperature is decreased to -100 degrees C in THF, these rapid interconversions among Mobius conformations are frozen, allowing the detection of a single [28]hexaphyrin(1.1.1.1.1.1) species having a Mobius conformation. Detailed analyses of the solid-state Mobius structures of compounds 2b, 2c, and 2f showed that singly twisted structures are achieved without serious strain and that cyclic pi-conjugation is well-preserved, as needed for exhibiting strong diatropic ring currents. Actually, the harmonic-oscillator model for aromaticity (HOMA) values of these structures are significantly large (0.85, 0.69, and 0.71, respectively), confirming the first demonstration of stable Mobius aromatic systems consisting of free-base expanded porphyrins without the assistance of metal coordination.

    A series of meso-(4-(N,N-dibenzylamino)phenyl)-substituted subporphyrins was synthesized by means of Buchwald-Hartwig amination protocol. Substitution of the amino group at the 4-position of the meso-phenyl substituent resulted in a remarkable red shift in the absorption spectra and drastic enhancement of fluorescence intensity probably as a consequence of intramolecular CT interaction. These characteristics have been utilized to construct a cation-sensing system by appending a 1-aza-15-crown-5 unit to subporphyrin that displays large spectral changes upon cation binding.

    meso-Aryl-substituted subchlorins were obtained as a side product in acid-catalyzed subporphyrin synthesis and were fully characterized. Subchlorins were more efficiently prepared by reduction of subporphyrins with p-losylhydrazide under basic conditions. Structural change from subporphyrin to subchlorin is accompanied by large optical and electrochemical changes that are quite similar to those observed upon change from porphyrin to chlorin. Optical and electrochemical properties of subchlorins are well understood with the framework of Gouterman's four-orbital theory.

    Subporphyrin is a ring-contracted porphyrin congener consisting of three pyrrolic subunits domed in a C(3) symmetric bowl arrangement. Subporphyrin had long been elusive until the first synthesis of tribenzosubporphine in 2006. Shortly after, synthetic protocols of subpyriporphyrin, meso-aryl-substituted subporphyrins, and meso-aryl substituted subchlorins were developed. Subporphyrins display interesting properties including distinct aromaticity arising from 14 pi-electronic conjugation, green fluorescence, and strong in fluences of meso-aryl substituents on the electronic network of the macrocycle. Besides the rational synthetic routes, an unexpected route to a specific subporphyrin from a [32] heptaphyrin(1.1.1.1.1.1.1) was discovered via a thermal extrusion reaction upon Cu(II)-B(III) cooperative metallation. In this Perspective, we review recent progress on subporphyrin chemistry and unprecedented ring-splitting reactions of medium size expanded porphyrins that are triggered upon metallation.

    Two synthetic methods of meso-aryl-substituted subporphyrins have been developed by means of the reaction of pyridine-tri-N-pyrrolylborane with a series of aryl aldehydes. One method relies on the condensation under Adler conditions with chloroacetic acid in refluxing 1,2-dichlorobenzene to afford subporphyrins in 1.1-3.2%, and the other is a two-step reaction consisting of the initial treatment of the two substrates with trifluoroacetic acid at 0 degrees C followed by air-oxidation in refluxing 1,2-dichlorobenzene to provide subporphyrins in up to 5.6% yield. H-1 NMR studies indicate that phenyl and sterically unhindered substituents at the meso position of subporphyrins rotate rather freely even at -90 degrees C, whereas the rotation of meso-2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl substituents is strictly prohibited even at 130 degrees C. The structures of six subporphyins have been revealed by X-ray crystallographic analysis to be all cone-shaped tripyrrolic macrocycles. Dihedral angles of meso-phenyl and sterically unhindered aryl substituents to the subporphyrinic core are rather small (38.3-55.7 degrees) compared to those of porphyrin analogues, whereas those of meso-2,4,6-trimethoxy-substituted subporphyrins are large (68.7-75.7 degrees). These rotational features of the meso-aryl substituents lead to their large influences on the electronic properties of subporphyrins, as seen for 4-nitrophenyl-substituted subporphyrin 14e that exhibits perturbed absorption and fluorescence spectra, depending upon solvents. Large solvent-polarity dependence of the fluorescence of 14e suggests the charge-transfer character for its excited state. Electrochemical and theoretical studies are performed to understand the electronic properties. Overall, meso-aryl-substituted subporphyrins are promising chromophores in future functional devices.
