Quantum‐mechanical calculations of chiroptical properties have rapidly become the most
popular method for assigning absolute configurations (AC) of organic compounds, including …

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 …

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

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) …

Conspectus Naturally occurring porphyrins and hydroporphyrins vary with respect to their
ring substituents and oxidation states, but their tetrapyrrolic frameworks remain fully …

Porphyrins are fully unsaturated tetrapyrrolic macrocycles linked by methylene carbons. The
chemical and physical properties of porphyrins are mainly determined by the presence of a …

The direct oxidations of meso-tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin using
cetyltrimethylammonium permanganate (CTAP), RuCl3/Oxone/base or Ag+/oxalic acid each …

The near‐infrared (NIR) luminescence efficiency of lanthanide complexes is largely
dependent on the electronic and photophysical properties of antenna ligands. Although …

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

The rational syntheses of meso-tetraaryl-3-oxo-2-oxaporphyrins 5, known as
