Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted much attention as an alternative to silicon-
based solar cells because of their low-cost production and high power conversion efficiency …

Tetrapyrrole derivatives such as porphyrins, phthalocyanines, naphthalocyanines, and
porpholactones, are highly stable macrocyclic compounds that play important roles in many …

Because sunlight is diffuse and intermittent, substantial use of solar energy to meet
humanity's needs will probably require energy storage in dense, transportable media via …

This review highlights and summarizes various optically active porphyrin and
phthalocyanine molecules prepared using a wide range of structural modification methods …

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are currently attracting considerable attention because of
their high light-to-electricity conversion efficiencies, ease of fabrication, and low production …

Energy is the most important issue of the 21st century. About 85% of our energy comes from
fossil fuels, a finite resource unevenly distributed beneath the Earth's surface. Reserves of …

The field of organic photovoltaics (OPV) represents one of the most promising technological
areas. Porphyrins and phthalocyanines are perfectly suited for their integration in light …

Supramolecular chemistry, defined as “chemistry outside a molecule”, is at the heart of the
development of chemistry of complex systems, molecular devices, ensembles, and …

The proposal that molecules can perform electronic functions in devices such as diodes,
rectifiers, wires and capacitors, or serve as functional materials for electronic or magnetic …

“Anything that exists must be possible.” is often referred to as KE Boulding's First Law. 1 For
