Confusion is a novel concept of isomerism in porphyrin chemistry, delivering a steady
stream of new chemistry since the discovery of N-confused porphyrin, a porphyrin mutant, in …

The world of modified porphyrins changed forever when an N-confused porphyrin (NCP), a
porphyrin isomer, was first published in 1994. The replacement of one inner nitrogen with a …

The use of cyclic polyene perimeter-model approaches, such as Gouterman's four-orbital
model and Michl's perimeter model, to analyze trends in the electronic structures and optical …

Following immediately after the serendipitous discovery of N-confused porphyrins,
remarkably diverse carbaporphyrinoid systems have been synthesized and investigated. By …

This article introduces an overview of progressively developing chemistry of N-confused
porphyrin and related macrocycles. Study on confusion results in discovery of fusion and …

N-confused porphyrin (NCP) is a porphyrin isomer that is different largely from the parent
porphyrin, particularly in the physical, chemical, structural, and coordination properties …

An alteration of a metalloporphyrin coordination core, exemplified by 21-heteroporphyrins
and 2-aza-21-carbaporphyrin (N-confused porphyrin, inverted porphyrin), provides a route …

Since its discovery as a side product in acid catalyzed condensations in 1994, the metal
chemistry of N-confused porphyrins has grown exponentially. Due to the location of an …

The aromatic nature of porphyrins is commonly attributed to the presence of an [18]
annulene substructure. However, this viewpoint has been disputed. Drawing on a range of …

The square-planar structure of a diamagnetic Cu (III) complex of tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl)-
substituted N-confused porphyrin was elucidated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The facile …
