Tetraphenylporphyrin (H 2 TPP) and zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) are widely used
benchmark molecules in diverse photochemical studies given facile synthetic access, rich …

After the epochal discovery of the “organic metal”, namely, tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)–7, 7, 8, 8-
tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) dyad in 1973, scientists have made efforts to …

We present results of a joint computational and experimental study for a series of annulated
metalloporphyrins in order to establish structure− property relationships. Specifically, we …

A novel general synthetic route to tetraaryltetrabenzoporphyrins (Ar4TBP) with various
peripheral functional groups is developed. The procedure includes (i) Barton− Zard …

The functional versatility of tetrapyrroles as natural cofactors is related to their
conformational flexibility where manipulation of the macrocycle conformation allows a fine …

Novel unsymmetrically π-elongated porphyrins, in which the naphthyl moiety is fused to the
porphyrin core at the naphthyl bridge with a carboxyl group (fused-Zn-1) or at the opposite …

The pH dependencies of the UV− vis and fluorescent spectra of new water-soluble dendritic
porphyrins and tetrabenzoporphyrins were studied. Because of extended π-conjugation and …

In the photosynthetic photosystem II, electrons are transferred from the manganese-
containing oxygen evolving complex (OEC) to the oxidized primary electron-donor …

Different porphyrin conformations are believed to play a role in controlling the cofactor
properties in natural tetrapyrrole-protein complexes. In order to study the correlation …

A recently developed method of synthesis of π-extended porphyrins made it possible to
prepare a series of tetrabenzoporphyrins (TBP) with different numbers of meso-aryl …
