This review surveys recent progress in the chemistry of polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules
with a focus on structural diversity and synthetic methodology. The article covers literature …

Confusion is a novel concept of isomerism in porphyrin chemistry, delivering a steady
stream of new chemistry since the discovery of N-confused porphyrin, a porphyrin mutant, in …

To fabricate efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP) is
commonly used as an additive in the electrolytes for improving the photovoltages (V OC) …

Sapphyrin is a pentapyrrolic expanded porphyrin with a 22π aromatic character. Herein, we
report the synthesis of a 20π antiaromatic sapphyrin isomer 1 by oxidative cyclization of a …

Directly linked porphyrin dimers have attracted considerable attention because of their
intriguing electronic features. Most emphasis has been placed on either dimers with large …

Novel interrupted π-conjugated macrocycles derived from expanded porphyrinoids were
synthesized, and their unique reactivity was investigated in this work. The specific porphyrin …

Here, the mislinked expanded porphyrins singly (labeled A) and doubly (labeled B) neo-
confused [22] smaragdyrin, the boron-dipyrromethenes-based mislinked expanded …

Fusion is a relatively new concept to produce unique members of the porphyrin family. A
representative compound formed by fusion is N-fused porphyrin, which is synthesized from …

Materials with outstanding nonlinear optical (NLO) response exhibit excellent prospects in
electrooptic devices. Thus, it is essential to find a high-performance NLO material to meet …

To further enrich the coordination chemistry of hexaphyrins and probe the underlying
property–structural correlations, N-confused dithiahexaphyrin (1.1. 1.1. 1.0)(1) with 26 π …
