Profs. Okujima and Uno, in collaboration with Prof. Kobayashi at Shinshu University, reported their success in the synthesis of diazuliamethyrin, a core-modified hexaphyrin(1.0.0.1.0.0), and descibed ...

Porphyrin complexes remain at the forefront of coordination chemistry owing to their versatile structure and rich electronic properties. These macrocyclic compounds, characterised by a central cavity ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Heme is a coordination complex consisting of a porphyrin ring surrounding a single ferrous (Fe 2+) or ferric (Fe 3+) ion, able to bond with diatomic oxygen and transport it around the body. Four heme ...
