This review covers the surface chemistry of porphyrins, phthalocyanines, their metal
complexes, and related compounds, with particular focus on chemical reactions at …

Corroles are synthetic porphyrin analogs that contain one meso carbon atom lesser and
bear a trianionic N4 metal-chelating core. They require in-depth preparative chemistry …

Corroles have come a long way from being a curiosity to being a mainstream research topic.
They are now regularly synthesized in numerous research laboratories worldwide with …

This review covers the functionalization reactions of meso-arylcorroles, both at the inner
core, as well as the peripheral positions of the macrocycle. Experimental details for the …

New and efficient conditions for the synthesis of meso-substituted corroles were developed.
The first step, involving the reaction of aldehydes with pyrrole, was carried out in a water …

Corroles display distinctive structural, spectroscopic, and photophysical properties, as well
as some exceptional chemical reactivities that are not shared by other molecules. In …

Despite of the many similarities between corroles and porphyrins, the chemistry of the former
remained undeveloped for decades because of severe synthetic obstacles. The recent …

Four free-base corroles with electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups on the para
or 2 through 6-positons of the meso phenyl rings were prepared via either Paolesse or …

A detailed photophysical characterization of a series of six free-base corroles with different
substitution patterns at meso-positions is presented. In air-free toluene at 295 K, the …

A series of substituted tetraphenylporphyrin iron chloride complexes [RTPPFe (III) Cl, R= o/p-
NO2, o/p-Cl, H, o/p-CH3, o/p-OCH3] were synthesized by a novel universal mixed-solvent …
