Seasonal phytoplankton and geochemical shifts in the subsurface chlorophyll maximum layer of a dimictic ferruginous lake

Hannah Elisa Chmiel

Subsurface chlorophyll maxima layers (SCML) are ubiquitous features of stratified aquatic systems. Availability of the micronutrient iron is known to influence marine SCML, but iron has not been explored in detail as a factor in the development of freshwat ...

In Vacuo Porphyrin Metalation on Ag(111) via Chemical Vapor Deposition of Ru-3(CO)(12): Mechanistic Insights

Katharina Johanna Diller

Porphyrin molecules offer a very stable molecular environment for the incorporation of numerous metal ions inside their cavity, which enables a plethora of applications. The fabrication and characterization of surface confined metal organic architectures b ...

Synthesis, characterization and ab initio investigation of a panchromatic ullazine–porphyrin photosensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Ursula Röthlisberger, Basile Curchod, Magdalena Anna Marszalek, Negar Ashari Astani, Julien Edouard Frey, Simon Mathew

An ullazine unit was employed as a donor moiety in a donor-pi-acceptor (D-p-A) motif, employing the porphyrin macrocycle as a pi-system. Synthesis of this ullazine-porphyrin dyad containing sensitizer (SM63) was achieved and an investigation of the electro ...

Room temperature ionic liquids based on cationic porphyrin derivatives and tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate anion

Hubert Girault, Peiyu Ge

A series of 11 low melting ionic liquids based on meso-substituted A(3)B-porphyrins and A(2)B(2)-porphyrins containing one or two pyridyl substituents have been synthesized in high yields. Three of them are liquids at room temperature. All these porphyrini ...

Oxygen reduction catalyzed by a fluorinated tetraphenylporphyrin free base at liquid/liquid interfaces

Hubert Girault, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Bin Su, Imren Hatay, Zdenek Samec

The diprotonated form of a fluorinated free base porphyrin, namely 5-(p-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-tris(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (H(2)FAP), can catalyze the reduction of oxygen by a weak electron donor, namely ferrocene (Fc). At a water/1,2-dichloroethane in ...

Assessment of a sheep animal model to optimize photodynamic therapy with Foscan in the esophague

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, François André Borle

Precursor lesions of oesophagus adenocarcinoma constitute a clinical dilemma. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment for this indication, but it is difficult to optimise without an appropriate animal model. For this reason, we assessed the sh ...

CNDOL: A fast and reliable method for the calculation of electronic properties of very large systems. Applications to retinal binding pocket in rhodopsin and gas phase porphine

Majed Chergui, Ursula Röthlisberger

Very large mol. systems can be calcd. with the so called CNDOL approx. Hamiltonians that have been developed by avoiding oversimplifications and only using a priori parameters and formulas from the simpler NDO methods. A new diagonal monoelectronic term na ...

5-Aminolevulinic acid and its derivatives: physical chemical properties and protoporphyrin IX formation in cultured cells

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Pascal Uehlinger

Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is used as a fluorescence marker and photosensitizing agent in photodynamic therapy (PDT). A temporary increase of PpIX in tissues can be obtained by administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Lipophilicity is one of the key pa ...

Photodynamic therapy for 101 early cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract, the esophagus, and the bronchi: a single-institution experience

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Alain Woodtli

Cancer, when detected at an early stage, has a very good probability of being eradicated by surgery or radiotherapy. However, less aggressive treatments also tend to provide high rates of cure without the side effects of radical therapy. We report on the r ...

Photodynamic therapy of early squamous cell carcinoma with tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin: optimal drug-light interval

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

The optimal drug-light interval for effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) of early squamous cell carcinomas was evaluated with tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) by means of two complementary modalities: irradiation tests and ex vivo fluorescence microsc ...
