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 ...

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 ...

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.

Nature uses porphyrins for all kinds of things. The aromatic, disc-shaped molecules form the functional core of systems that transport oxygen, catalyze biochemical transformations, and harvest light, ...

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 ...
