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 selective oxidation of C H bonds and the use of O2 as a stoichiometric oxidant
represent two prominent challenges in organic chemistry. Copper (II) is a versatile oxidant …

Electrochemical oxidation represents an environmentally friendly solution to conventional
methods that require caustic stoichiometric chemical oxidants. However, C–H …

Copper (II)-mediated C–H oxidation is the subject of extensive interest in synthetic
chemistry, but the mechanisms of many of these reactions are poorly understood. Here, we …

Organocopper compounds in organic chemistry appear most frequently in the form of
nucleophilic organocopper (I) reagents, which are used either as stoichiometric reagents or …

This work represents an important step in the quest for creating atomically precise binary
semiconductor nanoclusters (BS-NCs). Compared with coinage metal NCs, the preparation …

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) …

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 …

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

Carbon–carbon bond-forming reductive elimination from elusive organocopper (III)
complexes has been considered the key step in many copper-catalyzed and organocuprate …
