Abstract

Redox and photoactive oxoporphyrinogens have been studied intensively for their self-assembly, photochemical and sensing properties. This nanometric molecule of approx. 2 nm diameter is an excellent platform for the synthesis of extended multichromophore systems that exhibit complex electronic and sensing properties. It can also be incorporated in composites with polymers or inorganic materials, making it a highly suitable molecule for performing nanoarchitectonic syntheses of functional materials. In this chapter, we describe the development of the synthesis, supramolecular chemistry and sensing properties of this highly versatile and highly colored molecular component.
