The reduced symmetry of the chromophore, which still contains 187t-electrons and is therefore an aromatic system, influences the electronic spectrum which shows a bathochromic shift and a higher molar extinction coefficient of the long-wavelength absorption bands compared to the porphyrin, so that the photophysical properties of the chlorins resulting from this structural alteration render them naturally suitable as pigments for photosynthesis and also make them of interest in medical applications, e.g. photodynamic tumor therapy (PDT).2... 

The photophysical properties of porphycenes make these structures potential sensitizers for an application in Photodynamic Tumor Therapy (PDT). To improve the photophysical properties and to modify possible biological activity it is necessary to have porphycenes with an extended chromophore and/or with additional functional groups for further modifications. The Diels-Alder reaction of a vinyl porphycene allows for the preparation of benzoporphycenes with an extended chromophore9 and additional functional groups (cf. Section 1.1.2.4.).

In 2009, Rauchfuss and coworkers succeeded in the synthesis of the Fe- i-H-Ni complex [(CO)3Fe(pdt)(p-H)Ni(dppe)]BF4 28 (pdt = 1,3-propanedithiolate, dppe = 1,2-C2H4(PPh2)2) as a model for [NiFeJ-hydrogenases (Scheme 64) [212]. The structure of 28 was characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis. This is the first example of an Fe-Ni thiolato hydride complex. Evolution of H2 by electrochemical reduction of CF3CO2H (pXa = 12.65) was observed in the presence of the catalytic amounts of 28.

Computing thermodynamic properties is the most important validation of simulations of solutions and biophysical materials. The potential distribution theorem (PDT) presents a partition function to be evaluated for the excess chemical potential of a molecular component which is part of a general thermodynamic system. The excess chemical potential of a component a is that part of the chemical potential of Gibbs which would vanish if the intermolecular interactions were to vanish. Therefore, it is just the part of that chemical potential that is interesting for consideration of a complex solution from a molecular basis. Since the excess chemical potential is measurable, it also serves the purpose of validating molecular simulations. 

Here we establish notation that is integral to this topic in the course of discussion of basic features of the potential distribution theorem (PDT). 

The PDT focuses on the chemical potentials pa that compose the Gibbs free energy... 

The potential distribution theorem has been around for a long time [13-17], but not as long as the edifice of Gibbsian statistical mechanics where traditional partition functions were first encountered. We refer to other sources [10] for detailed derivations of this PDT, suitably general for the present purposes. 

Our statement of the PDT (9.5) specifically considers two independent systems first, a distinguished molecule of the type of interest and, second, the solution of interest. Our general expression of the PDT (9.5) can then be cast as... 

The PDT partition function formula (9.5) does not require that AUa adopt a specifically simplified form such as additive contributions over pairs of molecules involved. AUa is simply... 

This casts the PDT partition function as a normalizing denominator, as is customary for a partition function. 

Occasionally alternative expressions of the PDT (9.5) have been proposed [23-25], These alternatives arise from consideration of statistical thermodynamic manipulations associated with a particular ensemble, and the distinguishing features of those alternative formulae are relics of the particular ensemble considered. On the other hand, relics specific to an ensemble are not evident in the PDT formula (9.5). These alternative formulae should give the same result in the thermodynamic limit. 

The correction displayed is negligible relative to 1, in the macroscopic limit. The independence in the thermodynamic limit of the PDT on a choice of simulation ensemble used for statistical evaluation is a difference from the partition functions encountered in Gibbsian statistical thermodynamics.
