Sensing of metal ions and anions is of great importance because of their widespread
distribution in environmental systems and biological processes. Colorimetric and fluorescent …

Chlorophylls make Earth green, are the central constituents in the engine of photosynthesis,
and not surprisingly have garnered immense attention. A chlorin, the core chromophore of a …

The heteroatom-containing porphyrin analogues or core-modified porphyrins that resulted
from the replacement of one or two pyrrole rings with other five-membered heterocycles …

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) …

Over the years, porphyrins have arisen as exceptional photosensitizers given their ability to
act as chlorophyll-mimicking dyes, thus, transferring energy from the light-collecting areas to …

Benziporphyrins were first discovered over 20 years ago. Although initially they were
considered to be a chemical curiosity, a wide range of benzene-containing porphyrinoid …

Porphyrins are large heterocyclic macrocycles that bind metals to form complexes such as
heme and chlorophyll. Porphyrinogens are related macrocycles in which the meso-carbons …

Stable and nonaromatic phenothiazinophyrins which resulted from the replacement of one
of the pyrrole rings of porphyrin with a phenothiazine unit were synthesized by condensing …

The near‐infrared (NIR) luminescence efficiency of lanthanide complexes is largely
dependent on the electronic and photophysical properties of antenna ligands. Although …

Porphyrins have multiple roles in living and nonliving systems because of their exceptional
tunable chemical and physical properties. They are interesting macrocyclic compounds that …
