Background: Zn(II) meso-Tetra (N-methyl-4-pyridyl) Porphine Tetrachloride is a synthetic porphyrin specialty chemical manufactured by Frontier Specialty Chemicals. Zn(II) meso-Tetra (N-methyl-4-pyridyl) Porphine Tetrachloride was used for the photoinduced electron/energy transfer – reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) forced-gradient copolymerisation in water under orange light irradiation for the assembly of polymeric nanoparticles.1-4 The triplet excited state of Zn(II) meso-Tetra (N-methyl-4-pyridyl) Porphine Tetrachloride was used to probe the binding interaction of this porphyrin to G-quadruplex DNA, providing insight into the design of anti-cancer drugs targeting G-quadruplex.5
