Porphyrin Chemistry Research Group

Greetings from ICPP-12! We had a beautiful time in Madrid.😍 Thank you, the organizers!

Two pics: the first is how we started the birthday celebration in April and the other one is how we concluded it with this weekend's Symposium.

Thank you very much for participating and warm wishes for prof. LLG.

Tomorrow and on Saturday we have a nice Surprise Symposium to celebrate prof. L. Latos-Grażyński's 70th Birthday🎂.
You can virtually join us and many great researchers in this scientific celebration. MS Teams link, schedule, and more details are available here:

Porphyrin Chemistry Research - Symposium Porphyrin Chemistry Research

Kolejna odsłona Obchodów 70. urodzin Profesora Latosa-Grażyńskiego już za nami!
Zachęcamy do lektury Wiadomości Chemicznych, czyli czasopisma wydawanego przez Polskie Towarzystwo Chemiczne. Zeszyt 5-6 zadedykowany jest naszemu Profesorowi. 😍
Poza naukowymi nowinkami znajdziecie tam również Historię Naszego Zespołu oraz krótką Biografię prof. Latosa-Grażyńskiego.
Zachęcamy do czytania :-)

Congrats to Michał Białek and we are waiting for great discoveries from the funded project "Lab on a Molecule – Exploring Organometallic Reactivity of Molecular Fragments under Confinement within a Carbaporphyrinoid Frame"🤩

Niemal 668 mln zł dla naukowców w konkursach OPUS 20 + LAP, SONATA 16 i PRELUDIUM BIS 2 | Narodowe Centrum Nauki Rozstrzygnęliśmy właśnie wyniki kolejnych edycji konkursów OPUS + LAP, SONATA oraz PRELUDIUM BIS. Na listach rankingowych znalazło się 638 projektów o łącznej wartości niemal 668 mln zł.

So... as we mentioned. Today is the day! Happy 70th to our great Boss - prof. Latos-Grażyński from the whole group!🥳🥳🥳

Also this year we will celebrate Professor's 70th birthday. Thank you for a nice dedication on this occasion 🤩

Fluorescent sensors: A bright future for cages This review provides a general overview of the development of fluorescent chemosensors based on closed three-dimensional architectures and highlights …

Today, on Polish Science Day, prof. Latos-Grażyński received the Minister of Science and Education award for the overall impressive scientific achievements.👏

We conclude this year with a cool explanation of why the concept of carbaporphyrins seemed familiar and yes, you guessed it, it's because of the pincer ligand motif. Feel free to check it out, it's brought to you by Karolina Hurej.
Best wishes for the next year. Let's hope it will be finally a just 'ordinary' year :D

A Pincer Motif Etched into a meta-Benziporphyrin Frame The incorporation of a meta-phenylene moiety into a β-alkylated or meso-tetraarylporphyrin framework resulted in the formation of m-benziporphyrins. Their molecular design preserves all the essential...

Merry Christmas! :-)

We are so happy, because our student - Witold Walkowiak has obtained Młody Badacz Scholarship from IDUB! We would like to congratulate Witold and wish him further success!

We are happy to inform you that two our PhD students Karolina Urbańska and Maksym Matviyishyn have recieved the Sosabowski scholarship. Congratulations!

The aim of Karolina’s research is to employ porphyrins in the construction of 3D frameworks, in which the chromophore units are embedded on a peptide skeleton. As building blocks, said structures include porphyrin-amino acid hybrids with a direct connection through a C-N bond. An essential aspect of such direct connection is that it enables the communication between nitrogen's lone pair of electrons and the pi cloud of the chromophore, which significantly affects the optical response of the hybrid.

Max’s PhD project work consists of self-assembly studies of pyrrole-incorporating building blocks – a route to supramolecular architectures.
