Molecular oxygen, O2, has long provided a cornerstone for studies in chemistry, physics,
and biology. Although the triplet ground state, O2 (X3Σg–), has garnered much attention, the …

Analysis of the relationship between the molecular structure of porphyrins and the spectral
features of their monoand diprotonated forms in solution is presented. The evolution of the …

The chemical and sensing properties of porphyrins are frequently tuned via the introduction
of peripheral substituents. In the context of the exceptionally fast second protonation step in …

A series of dicyanomethylenated acridone derivatives, DCNAC-C n (n= 1, 4, 6) and DPA-
DCNAC-C4, are designed and synthesized. They are highly luminescent in the crystalline …

Mechanical and structural properties of ionically self-assembled nanostructures of meso-
tetra (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TSPP) and meso-tetra (4-pyridyl) porphyrin (TPyP) are …

This work reports on the photophysical properties of zinc porphyrins meso-tetrakis
methylpyridiniumyl (Zn2+ TMPyP) and meso-tetrakis sulfonatophenyl (Zn2+ TPPS) in …

The use of chlorins as photosensitizers or fluorophores in a range of biological applications
requires facile provisions for imparting high water solubility. Two free base chlorins have …

Well-defined monolayer islands of protonated meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphine
(H2 [H4TSPP]) self-assembled on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) from 0.75 M HCl …

Lanthanide (Yb3+, Nd3+) complexes equipped with red-absorbing hydroporphyrin (chlorin)
antennae were synthesized and characterized. The syntheses are scalable, highly modular …

The effect of acetic acid on the photosensitizing activity of dimegin (DMG), chlorin e6 (Ce6),
and their complexes with amphiphilic polymers—Pluronic F-127 and poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone …
