As deaths from preventable diseases abate, cancer is becoming one of the leading causes
of death in the world. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive treatment for cancer …

What is the role of electrochemistry in supramolecular chemistry? On one hand, it provides
information on energy and kinetics that is not available with spectroscopic and mass …

There has been a controversy about the self-aggregation of 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis [4-(N-
methyl) pyridinium] porphyrin (TMPyP (4)) in water. In order to make clear whether TMPyP …

Two heptakis (2, 3, 6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TMe-β-CD) molecules strongly include the
peripheral substituents at the 5-and 15-positions of the charged meso-tetrasubstituted …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is mainly used to destroy cancerous cells; it combines the
action of three components: a photoactivatable molecule or photosensitizer (PS), the light of …

Porphyrinic compounds are widespread in nature and play key roles in biological processes
such as oxygen transport in blood, enzymatic redox reactions or photosynthesis. In addition …

The aggregation in water of the free bases and the diprotonated forms of p-sulfonatophenyl
and phenyl meso-substituted porphyrins [sodium salts of 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (4 …

As part of our research program aimed at the development of new supramolecular catalytic
systems, we are studying the use of cyclodextrin dimers (CD-dimers) to encapsulate …

Abstract Water-Soluble Chlorophyll Proteins (WSCPs) from Brassicaceae are non-
photosynthetic proteins which tetramerize upon binding four chlorophyll (Chl) molecules …

5, 10, 15, 20-Tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphinato iron (III)(Fe (III) TPPS) forms a very
stable 1: 2 complex with heptakis (2, 3, 6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TMe-β-CD), whose …
