As deaths from preventable diseases abate, cancer is becoming one of the leading causes
of death in the world. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive treatment for cancer …

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 covers the use of 2-azaallyl anions, 2-azaallyl cations, and 2-azaallyl radicals in
organic synthesis up through June 2018. Particular attention is paid to both foundational …

This review has two parts. The first one gives an approach to interdisciplinary studies
against cancer carried out by many scientists using porphyrin-type substrates as …

Herein, we report the design and synthesis of biocompatible Yb3+ complexes for near-
infrared (NIR) living cell imaging. Upon excitation at either the visible (Soret band) or red …

Porphyrinoids are robust heterocyclic dyes studied extensively for their applications in
medicine and as photonic materials because of their tunable photophysical properties …

Since the early work of Fischer, porphyrin chemistry has evolved dramatically allowing many
exotic macrocycles to be synthesised. 1 Few boundaries restrict the porphyrin chemist, as …

5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin reacts with a range of nucleophiles
(amines, alcohols, thiols, nitrogen heterocycles, and others) resulting in the nucleophilic …

We report an innovative approach to producing bacteriochlorins (bacs) via formal
cycloaddition by subjecting a porphyrin to a trimolecular reaction. Bacs are near-infrared …

The antiaromatic ring of norcorrole, a contracted tetrapyrrolic porphyrinoid, was subjected to
[2+ 3] dipolar cycloaddition of iminonitriles. The paratropic character of the resulting chiral …
