Porphyrin molecules are a widely exploited biochemical moiety, with uses in medicinal
chemistry, sensing and materials science. The shape of porphyrins, as an aromatic unit, is …

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) …

Mimicry of natural enzyme systems is an important approach for catalyst design. To create
an enzyme‐inspired catalyst, it is essential to mimic both the active center and the second …

The nucleophilic substitution of aromatic moieties (SNAr) has been known for over 150
years and found wide use for the functionalization of (hetero) aromatic systems. Currently …

A new class of bifunctional hydrogen‐bond donor organocatalyst using oxoporphyrinogens
having increased intramolecular hydrogen‐bond donor distances is reported …

Herein we report the synthesis of 5, 10, 15, 20-tetraaryl-(X)-substituted-2, 3, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17,
18-octaethylporphyrins (OETArXPs) and a structural investigation of their solid-state …

Coordinating the spatial arrangement of electroactive partners is crucial to designable
molecular electronics and photonics. Porphyrins are ubiquitous reaction centers in nature; …

Few photosensitizers function in both light and dark processes as they usually have no
function when the lights are turned off. We hypothesized that light and dark mechanisms in …

The extent of conformational alteration of the porphyrin macrocycle during the course of
protonation was observed, both experimentally and theoretically. For synthesized β …

A targeted synthesis of dodecasubstituted type I porphyrins that utilizes the reaction of
unsymmetrical 3, 4-difunctionalized pyrroles and sterically demanding aldehydes was …
