Since the discovery of its facile synthesis in 2001, meso-aryl-substituted expanded
porphyrins have been developed as a new class of azaannulenes in light of their facile …

In recent years several review articles and books have been published on the use of
porphyrin-based compounds in photodynamic therapy (PDT). This critical review is focused …

Over two decades have passed since the fifth edition of Phosphorus: Chemistry,
Biochemistry and Technology. Major advances in chemistry, materials science, electronics …

Trivalent lanthanide ions display fascinating optical properties. The discovery of the
corresponding elements and their first industrial uses were intimately linked to their optical …

This review traces the emergence of pyrrole-based receptors for anion recognition. It
outlines how serendipitous findings that the diprotonated form of sapphyrin, a pentapyrrolic …

Macrocyclic chelators can form highly stable complexes with transition metals and
lanthanides. In this review, the recent advances towards biomedical applications of …

The biological properties of the lanthanides, based on their similarity to calcium, have
stimulated research into their therapeutic application. Historical medical uses of the …

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) …

It is desirable to quantify the distribution of the light fluence rate, the optical properties, the
drug concentration, and the tissue oxygenation for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of prostate …
