The introduction of multifunctionalities for tumour targeting is becoming a popular strategy
toward the development of new therapeutic agents. In particular, the multifaceted potential of …

η6-Arene ruthenium complexes have been known for more than 30 years, and their
chemistry has been extensively studied for unfunctionalised arenes such as benzene, para …

Despite the extensive use of porphyrins in photodynamic therapy (PDT), tetraplatinated
porphyrins have so far not been studied for their anticancer properties. Herein, we report the …

We report here two novel “extended-arms” porphyrins, TetbpyPP and TedabpyPP, in which
four peripheral bpy fragments are connected to the meso positions of the macrocycle …

Porphyrins are conjugated, stable chromophores with a central core that binds a variety of
metal ions and an easily functionalized peripheral framework. By combining the catalytic …
