Poddutoori, Assistant Professor, UMD Chemistry & Biochemistry; Host: Dr. Venkatram MereddyRecently, we reported several ‘axial-bonding’ type multicomponent Donor- Acceptor systems using porphyrins that consist of main group-elements at the center. Among these, aluminum(III) porphyrins, phosphorus(V) porphyrins, and antimony(V) porphyrins are unique in terms of their structural, electronic, and redox properties. All three types of porphyrins form axial bonds with a variety of molecular components. We successfully utilized this property to build a series of novel Donor-Acceptor systems. I will discuss the design principles and photoinduced properties of some of these systems and their potential applications in artificial photosynthesis, light-induced molecular machines, and photodynamic therapy.en-USPostersUniversity of Minnesota DuluthSeminarsDepartment of Chemistry and BiochemistryVirtual eventsOther
