Enhanced photoinduced antimicrobial properties of a copper(ii) polypyridine naphthalene diimide complex for wound infection treatment and biomolecular interactions† In this study, we synthesised and characterised a copper(II) naphthalenediimide-phenanthroline (NDI-Phen) compound and the corresponding copper complex.

1. Introduction There are numerous papers describing the photophysics and photochemistry of porphyrins with a wide variety of meso-substituents and in a wide range of solvent systems [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. Copper-containing porphyrins are particularly interesting, with complex photophysical properties, and they are amongst the most widely studied of the paramagnetic metalloporphyrins [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47].

1. A historic win for Kildare YESTERDAY FELT LIKE a seismic occasion for Kildare. They performed well in their opening three games, but only had a point against Kerry to show for it. Promoted teams often go close in their opening few games before reality sets in and they suffer a few heavy beatings on their way back to Division 2. To beat Dublin, so long their oppressors, for the first time in 22 years was a huge boost for Glenn Ryan and his players.
