Cover Story: The development of porphyrin-based multifunctional materials destined both to capture carbon dioxide and to monitor toxic metal ions from waters represents an actual task of sustainable research. A carboxyl-substituted A3B porphyrin was obtained and fully characterized, and a novel porphyrin-k-carrageenan composite material able to capture CO2 in ambient conditions was realized. A good performance of 6.97 mmol CO2/1 g adsorbent was confirmed. An extension of this porphyrin-k-carrageenan material’s functionality toward Mn2+ detection from polluted waters and medical samples, relying on its synergistic partnership with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), was achieved. The plasmonic porphyrin-k-carrageenan-AuNPs material detected Mn2+ in the range of concentration from 4.56 × 10−5 M to 9.39 × 10−5 M (5–11 mg/L). View this paper
