Multifunctional porphyrinic materials encapsulated into macronets with photo chemotherapeutic applications

Supramolecidar chemistry is expected to keep a high developing advanced of molecular devices based on multifunctional materials. Porphyrins and their analogues should play a significant role as a consequence of their catalytic, electrocatalytic, photochemical and photoelectrochemical properties. Such molecular materials contain a high porosity with large cavities and galleries that can be functionalization yielding to a desired chirality and structure. The functionalization implies inserting into macrocydic cavity, followed by auto-assembling as columnar aggregates. The obtained cavities are used as host for different molecular guests. H and J-aggregates of some porphyrins are based on the intermolecular interactions of 3-5 Kcal/mol per porphyrin face. The columnar structure formed by porphyrins has a length of 5 to 27 porphyrin unities. In this paper we focused on our own strategy based on coordination chemistry for the design and build-up of supermolecules and supra molecular structures constituted by a porphyrin (TSPPJ and a new and revolutionary method for stabilizing porphyrins (as organic part), by their incapsulation into supports with controlled porosity as macronets (as inorganic parts), obtaining some hybrids materials. Included are also their properties and potential applications. Key words: porphyrins, macronets, photochemotherapy
