Abstract
There is a growing interest in developing dye-sensitized photocatalytic systems (DSPs) to produce molecular hydrogen (H2 ) as alternative energy source. To improve the sustainability of this technology, we replaced the sacrificial electron donor (SED), typically an expensive and polluting chemical, with an alcohol oxidation catalyst. This study demonstrates the first dye-sensitized system using a diketopyrrolopyrrole dye covalently linked to 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) based catalyst for simultaneous H2 evolution and alcohol-to-aldehyde transformation operating in water with visible irradiation.

Abstract
We developed dye-sensitized photocatalytic systems (DSPs) by utilizing porphyrins as a photosensitizer (PS) or as a photosensitizer-catalyst (PS/CAT) upon their chemisorption onto platinum-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles (Pt-TiO2 NPs). The DSPs coated with Pt-Tc3CP (PS/CAT entity) exhibited a record-high stability (25 500 TONs) and H2 evolution activity (707 mmol g-1 h-1) compared to similar DSPs in the literature.

Abstract
In this study, a highly efficient photocatalytic H2 production system is developed by employing porphyrins as photocatalysts. Palladium and platinum tetracarboxyporphyrins (PdTCP and PtTCP) are adsorbed or coadsorbed onto TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), which act as the electron transport medium and as a scaffold that promotes the self-organization of the porphyrinoids. The self-organization of PdTCP and PtTCP, forming H- and J-aggregates, respectively, is the key element for H2 evolution, as in the absence of TiO2 NPs no catalytic activity is detected. Notably, J-aggregated PtTCPs are more efficient for H2 production than H-aggregated PdTCPs. In this approach, a single porphyrin, which self-organizes onto TiO2 NPs, acts as the light harvester and simultaneously as the catalyst, whereas TiO2 serves as the electron transport medium. Importantly, the concurrent adsorption of PdTCP and PtTCP onto TiO2 NPs results in the most efficient catalytic system, giving a turnover number of 22,733 and 30.2 mmol(H2 ) g(cat)-1 .

Abstract
In this study, a series of diphenylalanine tetra-substituted porphyrin derivatives were synthesized and their self-assembly ability was extensively studied. Apart from investigating the impact of incorporating many peptide moieties onto a porphyrin molecule; another perspective was investigated as well, namely the connection of two different chromophore entities (porphyrin and BODIPY) onto the same diphenylalanine molecule. Interestingly, various supra-molecular nanostructures were observed depending on the solvent mixture as well as the protecting group of the peptides, namely spheres, plaques and fibrils. The obtained self-assemblies were studied via UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopies. Mainly red shifting was observed, indicating the formation of [Formula: see text]-aggregates in the self-assembled state. However, in one case a blue shifted UV-vis spectrum was obtained suggesting the formation of [Formula: see text]-type aggregates. Concerning the porphyrin-diphenylalanine-BODIPY derivative, additional fluorescence studies were performed in order to examine a possible interaction between the two chromophores in the excited state. Indeed, the emission measurements indicated that upon photo-excitation of the BODIPY entity, a very efficient energy or electron transfer process takes place from the BODIPY molecule to the porphyrin macrocycle.
