| Summary: | Organotransition metal complexes capable of forming metalloradicals have been an intriguing subject of study for the past fifty years. Of these, rhodium porphyrin complexes have proven particularly interesting due to their straightforward synthesis and unique reactivity; indeed, these complexes are responsible for some highly influential transformations of organic compounds, including rare C-H and C-C bond activations. The complexity and selectivity of rhodium porphyrins has been attractive for catalytic transformations, with specific interest in their usage for selective carbon monoxide reduction for fuel cell applications. This review will highlight historical and modern syntheses of rhodium porphyrins, as well as their respective reactions with small molecules and applications therein. The discussion will be limited to rhodium porphyrins consisting of four pyrrolic rings bridged with four methine units.
A review on rhodium porphyrin chemistry, ranging from synthesis and properties to reactivity and application. |

| Bibliography: | Siu Yin graduated summa cum laude in 2009 from the Chinese University of Hong Kong with a BSc degree in Chemistry. In 2013, she obtained a PhD degree in Chemistry with Prof. Kin Shing Chan from the same university. Her research work has been focusing on the carbon-carbon bond activations using group 9 metalloporphyrins. Following the graduate work, she received postdoctoral training under the supervision of Prof. Chad Eichman at Loyola University Chicago to study the hydroarylation of olefins. She is currently working as a research professional in the Dong group at the University of Chicago. Guangbin Dong received his BS degree from Peking University and completed his PhD degree in chemistry from Stanford University with Professor Barry M. Trost, where he was a Larry Yung Stanford Graduate fellow. In 2009, he began to research with Professor Robert H. Grubbs at California Institute of Technology, as a Camille and Henry Dreyfus Environmental Chemistry Fellow. In 2011, he joined the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Texas at Austin as an assistant professor and a CPRIT Scholar. Since 2016, he has been a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Chicago. His research interests lie in the development of powerful chemical tools for addressing questions of biological importance. Marshall received his bachelor's degree in chemistry with honors from Northeastern University in Boston, during which time he carried out research at Harvard University. He completed his graduate work in 2015 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign studying low-valent cobalt complexes with strongly donating bis(silyl)amide ligands and their catalytic reactivity toward C-N bond formation. Following a period of postdoctoral research in the Dong group at the University of Texas at Austin on rhodium-mediated C-C bond activation methodology, he joined Nature Chemistry an Associate Editor in 2016. Samuel J. Thompson received his BS degree in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2011 under the supervision of Professor Erik Alexanian. He completed his PhD studies with Professor Guangbin Dong at the University of Texas at Austin in 2016. His research was focused on rhodium porphyrin-mediated transformations and directed C-H functionalization through palladium catalysis. Following his graduate work, he joined RTI International to continue his studies as a postdoctoral researcher.
