Nanographenes, or extended polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, have been attracting
renewed and more widespread attention since the first experimental demonstration of …

Conjugated porphyrin arrays that possess delocalised electronic networks have, for the most
part, been assembled by using alkene or alkyne type bridging units or by directly connecting …

Two-dimensionally extended, polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules (heterocyclic
nanographenes) are a highly versatile class of organic materials, applicable as functional …

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 …

In light of the considerable impact synthetic 2D polymers are expected to have on many
fundamental and applied aspects of the natural and engineering sciences, it is surprising …

Porphyrins and phthalocyanines have outstanding chemical and thermal stability. The
macrocyclic structure and chemical reactivity of tetrapyrroles offers architectural flexibility …

Scandium (III)-catalyzed oxidation of meso-meso–linked zinc (II)-porphyrin arrays (up to
dodecamers) with 2, 3-dichloro-5, 6-dicyano-1, 4-benzoquinone (DDQ) led to efficient …

About three decades ago, the existence of metal electrons in molecular crystals was proved
by X-ray (or neutron) experiments on Peierls instability (or giant Kohn anomaly) of a partially …

Tetrapyrrolic macrocycles1 play a number of critical biological roles such as molecular
binding, 2 reaction catalysis, 3 energy and electron transfers, 4, 5 and light harvesting. 6 The …

Various aromatic segments have been fused onto the porphyrin periphery to create
porphyrinoids that have expanded π-conjugated networks and thus exhibit red-shifted …
