This review highlights and summarizes various optically active porphyrin and
phthalocyanine molecules prepared using a wide range of structural modification methods …

Porphyrins are heterocyclic macrocycle organic compounds, composed of four modified
pyrrole subunits interconnected at their α carbon atoms via methine bridges. Because of …

This Perspective highlights the advances of optical methods for asymmetric reaction
discovery. Optical analysis allows for the determination of absolute configuration …

A host molecule, capable of freely adopting P or M helicity, is described for molecular
recognition and chirality sensing. The host, consisting of a biphenol core, binds chiral …

Metallated porphyrins have been widely used as binding sites in covalently linked molecular
tweezer receptors. This review describes selected examples of covalently linked porphyrin …

This feature article reviews dimeric metalloporphyrin hosts employed as chirality probes in
chiral recognition processes involving synthetic compounds and natural products. Upon …

The electronic CD exciton chirality method enables one to determine the absolute
configuration (AC) of various chiral compounds in a nonempirical manner without reference …

Determining the absolute stereochemisty of small molecules bearing remote
nonfunctionalizable stereocenters is a challenging task. Presented is a solution in which …

Four new chiral tweezer-diamine complexes, consisting of an achiral ferrocene-bridged Zn
(II) bisporhyrin host (1) and two small diamines (1 R, 2 R)-1, 2-diphenylethylene diamine {(1 …

A series of bifunctional metal-free photo-organocatalysts have been developed by grafting
the photosensitizer to cinchona-derived phase-transfer catalysts. Using air as a green …
