Metalloporphyrin complexes of the period six metals gold, mercury, thallium, lead and
bismuth are often overlooked in favour of their lighter congeners. These complexes exhibit …

We report the DNA-binding properties of three porphyrins with peripheral thienyl
substituents (TThPor, PdTThPor and PtTThPor). The binding capacity of each porphyrin with …

Interaction of metals with serum albumins is of special interest as it may mediate the toxic or
beneficial action of metal ions and their complexes that are often considered (pro) drugs …

Photocatalysis is a promising pathway for organic dye degradation. However, the low
harvesting efficiency and poor recyclability has hindered the application of photocatalysts in …

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent agents are extensively used for biomedical imaging due to
their ability for deep tissue penetration. Tetrapyrrole-based photosensitizers are promising …

Gold (III) complexes resemble cisplatin and other similar platinum (II) complexes in structure
and electron properties. Because of this similarity, the coordination compounds formed by …

Porphyrins have been widely utilized as biochemical and biological functional
chromophores which can operate under visible‐light irradiation. Water‐soluble porphyrins …
