Coutsolelos Affiliation: Bioinorganic Chemistry Lab, University of Crete, Department of Chemistry, 70013 Heraklion, Crete, Greece Title: “Artificial Photosynthesis and synthetic approaches with porphyrin-hybrid derivatives” Location: Computer Science Department, room A115 (ground floor), Voutes Time: 16:00 Language: English Abstract Natural processes of photosynthesis have increasingly inspired the fabrication of nanostructured molecular materials with advanced light-harvesting and electron-transfer features. [1-6] In this context, supramolecular chemistry allows diverse and disparate molecular building blocks to be amalgamated into highly ordered architectures. These mimics the key functions of the photosynthetic reaction center; light harvesting, charge separation, charge transport, and catalysis. [7,8] Porphyrinoids, the basic building block of chlorophylls, have emerged as an exceptional class of light harvesters and electron donors in such supramolecular electron donor-acceptor hybrids [9-12].
