Electrocatalytic and photocatalytic materials for energy and sensor applications are among the most relevant ones to overcome the challenges for a sustainable society. In this context, metalloporphyrins and transition metal complexes are known to exhibit interesting complimentary properties that can be combined to provide synergic effects, which was achieved in what so called tetraruthenated porphyrins and derivatives. The properties of these supramolecular species can be tuned based on the transition metal ion coordinated to the porphyrin, the ruthenium complex and especially the electronic coupling between those species conferring enhanced photoelectrochemical activity for conversion of carbon dioxide in valuable reduced species, or nitrite/nitrate to less harmful species. Another major application was shown to be as sensor materials for several substrates, generating more sensitive and robust devices. However, such a coordination chemistry strategy is evolving leading to new ...

评论—四钌卟啉和复合材料作为催化剂和传感器材料：简短回顾

能源和传感器应用的电催化和光催化材料是克服可持续社会挑战的最相关材料之一。在这种情况下，已知金属卟啉和过渡金属配合物表现出有趣的互补性质，可以将它们结合起来以提供协同作用，这在所谓的四钌卟啉及其衍生物中得以实现。这些超分子物质的性质可以基于与卟啉，钌配合物配位的过渡金属离子进行调节，特别是这些物质之间的电子耦合赋予了增强的光电化学活性，可将二氧化碳转化为有价值的还原物种，或将亚硝酸盐/硝酸盐转化为危害较小的物种。另一个主要应用显示为用于多种基材的传感器材料，可产生更灵敏，更坚固的设备。然而，这种配位化学策略正在发展，导致新的...
