Porphyrins are conjugated tetrapyrrolic macrocycles that play vital roles in nature as oxygen carriers and photosensitizers. Synthetic access to these compounds has traditionally relied on ...

New research from Professor Anna Slater and colleagues at the University of Liverpool demonstrates how continuous flow chemistry, combined with inline UV-Vis spectroscopy, can transform both the ...

Pushing the limits of size constraints in chemistry, an 8-nanometer 18-porphyrin nanoring (c-P18) becomes the largest known cyclic molecule to exhibit detectable global aromaticity. This phenomenon, ...

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 ...
