Porphyrin chemistry and its metal complexes constitute a vibrant field in modern chemical research, linking the realms of organic synthesis, coordination chemistry and materials science. The unique ...

Anna Christianson, a chemistry professor at Bellarmine University, was wowed by an exciting color change while making a sulfonated porphyrin (tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin or TSPP) to use as a ...

Natural porphyrins are vital molecules participating in many biological processes. Numerous numbers of porphyrin, metallporphyrin, and their derivatives have been synthesized as catalysts, ...

Prof. Okujima, in collaboration with Prof. Kobayashi at Shinshu University, reported the synthesis, molecular structure, optical properties and electronic structure of unusual phenanthrene-fused ...

Porphyrin compounds take on vibrant shades of color thanks to their π electrons. The network of double bonds—also known as a π-conjugated aromatic system—going around 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin ...

This review is led by Dr. Xiu-Ping Yan (State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University). Natural porphyrins are vital molecules participating in many biological processes.
