A quantum mechanical model is developed for the observed resonance enhancement of
light scattering by aggregates of electronically interacting chromophores. Aggregate size …

This review focuses on the photophysical properties of bisporphyrin systems held in a face-
to-face configuration by covalent bonds via flexible or rigid spacers and metal–metal bonds …

Porphyrins and other tetrapyrroles exhibit a considerable flexibility of the macrocycle
conformation. Examples of non-planar tetrapyrrole conformations have been observed in a …

Chiral bis-porphyrins are currently the subject of intense interest as chiral receptors and as
probes in the determination of structure and stereochemistry. To provide an improved …
