This review focuses on the postfunctionalization of porphyrins and related compounds
through catalytic and stoichiometric organometallic methodologies. The employment of …

This review focuses on classifying different types of long wavelength absorbing BODIPY
dyes based on the wide range of structural modification methods that have been adopted …

Solar energy has a great potential as a clean, cheap, renewable and sustainable energy
source, but it must be captured and transformed into useful forms of energy as plants do. An …

2-Thienyl and 2, 6-bisthienyl BODIPY derivatives (BS-SS and BS-DS) were prepared that
show intense absorption (ε= 65000 M–1 cm–1 at 507 nm) and a large Stokes shift (96 nm) …

Almost two decades after the outstanding X-ray crystallographic studies of light-harvesting
antenna complex LH2 of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas acidophila, a …

Various molecular and supramolecular systems have been synthesized and characterized
recently to mimic the functions of photosynthesis, in which solar energy conversion is …

A red-emitting BODIPY-based fluorescent-resonance-energy-transfer (FRET) molecular
probe 1 for selective detection of cysteine and homocysteine was designed. The …

C60–bodipy triads and tetrads based on the energy‐funneling effect that show broadband
absorption in the visible region have been prepared as novel triplet photosensitizers. The …

In recent years, dyads in which molecular donor and acceptor moieties are chemically linked
by a bridging ligand have emerged as attractive systems for light-driven catalysis. Their …

An efficient functional mimic of the photosynthetic antenna‐reaction center has been
designed and synthesized. The model contains a near‐infrared‐absorbing aza‐boron …
