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 …

The replacement of one or more pyrrolic building block (s) of a porphyrin by a nonpyrrolic
heterocycle leads to the formation of so-called pyrrole-modified porphyrins (PMPs) …

Two-dimensionally extended, polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules (heterocyclic
nanographenes) are a highly versatile class of organic materials, applicable as functional …

Annulated BODIPY chalcogenide (Se, Te) systems were synthesized from their respective
bis (o-formylphenyl) dichalcogenide intermediates. The annulated BODIPY selenide product …

The fluorophores with absorption and emission in the near-infrared region have attracted
increased attention and are widely used for bioimaging and phototherapy with high …

Six free base tetrapyrrolic chromophores, three quinoline-annulated porphyrins and three
morpholinobacteriochlorins, that absorb light in the near-IR range and possess, in …

A systematic study of the preparation of porphyrins with extended conjugation by meso, β-
fusion with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is reported. The meso-positions of 5 …

We report the synthesis of 7 new para-phenylene-bridged zinc porphyrin dimers, five of
which were characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. A variety of links were tested for …

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

Incorporation of planarized heteroatom (s) onto the porphyrin periphery is an effective
approach to create porphyrin-based functional materials. In the last three decades, such an …
