Chlorophylls make Earth green, are the central constituents in the engine of photosynthesis,
and not surprisingly have garnered immense attention. A chlorin, the core chromophore of a …

Conspectus Naturally occurring porphyrins and hydroporphyrins vary with respect to their
ring substituents and oxidation states, but their tetrapyrrolic frameworks remain fully …

Strategies for the design and synthesis of responsive luminescent probes based on
lanthanide complexes are surveyed. The sensitive detection of analytes ranging from ions to …

This review summarizes synthetic strategies for the preparation of asymmetric
phthalocyanines and their analogues. Cross-condensation between two phthalonitrile …

The refined syntheses, modification, and first X-ray structural characterization of meso-
tetraarylporphyrin-derived β-tetraolbacteriochlorins are described. These investigations …

In recent years, several synthetic strategies aiming at the peripheral functionalization of
porphyrins were developed. Particularly interesting are those involving the modification of β …

The rational syntheses of meso-tetraaryl-3-oxo-2-oxaporphyrins 5, known as
