A new class of porphyrin-cored fluorenodendrimers were synthesized by a convergent approach through click chemistry. The zeroth-, first-, and second-generation porphyrin-cored fluorenodendrimers were characterized by means of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescent spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The UV-vis spectrum of the dendrimers showed an increase in the absorption intensity on increasing the dendrimer generation, and a bathochromic shift was observed for higher-generation dendrimers compared with lower-generation dendrimers. The dendrimers showed emission bands at 317, 604–668, and 617–668 nm, the intensity of which increased with increasing dendrimer generation. All the synthesized dendrimers exhibited a reversible oxidation potential in cyclic voltammetry. The therapeutic efficacy of the porphyrin-cored fluorenodendrimers for the inhibition of a growth tumor cell (PA-1) increased with increasing generation number of the dendrimer.

Porous semiconductors represent a relatively new class of materials formed by the selective etching of a single or polycrystalline substrate. Although porous silicon has received considerable attention due to its novel optical properties1, porous layers can be formed in other semiconductors such as GaAs and GaP. These materials are characterised by very high surface area and by electrical, optical and chemical properties that may differ considerably from bulk. The properties depend on the pore morphology, which can be controlled by adjusting the processing conditions and the dopant concentration. A number of novel structures can be fabricated using selective etching. For example, self-supporting membranes can be made by growing pores through a wafer, films with modulated pore structure can be fabricated by varying the applied potential during growth, composite structures can be prepared by depositing a second phase into the pores and silicon-on-insulator structures can be formed by oxidising a buried porous layer. In all these applications the ability to grow nanostructures controllably is critical.

In neurons, the microtubule associated protein, tau, is found in the axons. Tau stabilizes the microtubules required for neurotransmitter transport to the axonal terminal. Since tau has been found in both Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) and in paired helical filaments (PHF), the study of tau's normal structure had to preceed TEM studies of NFT and PHF. The structure of tau was first studied by ultracentrifugation. This work suggested that it was a rod shaped molecule with an axial ratio of 20:1. More recently, paraciystals of phosphorylated and nonphosphoiylated tau have been reported. Phosphorylated tau was 90-95 nm in length and 3-6 nm in diameter where as nonphosphorylated tau was 69-75 nm in length. A shorter length of 30 nm was reported for undamaged tau indicating that it is an extremely flexible molecule. Tau was also studied in relation to microtubules, and its length was found to be 56.1±14.1 nm.
