Synthesis and Modifications of Porphyrinoids

Part of the book series: Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry ((TOPICS,volume 33))

Abstract

The richness of properties showed by porphyrins and related compounds has attracted the attention of researchers for many years, because the attempt to mimic the essential role that these macrocycles have in nature make them of potential interest as organic materials in a number of application fields. Many of these exploitations require the presence of diverse functionalities on the peripheral positions of the tetrapyrrolic macrocycles, to finely tune the porphyrin properties or to covalently attach them to a particular substrate. For this reason in the last decade a particular attention has been focused on the developments of rational or statistical synthetic protocols, aimed for the preparation of unsymmetrically substituted porphyrin derivatives.
