“…In recent years, Sn(IV) porphyrins have been widely used as a building block for the construction of useful porphyrin nanostructures, including nanocomposites, nanosheets, nanotubes, or thin stripes on surfaces [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. The oxophilic nature of Sn(IV) centers allows them to easily form stable six-coordinate complexes with the two trans-axial oxyanion ligands [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. These synthetic Sn(IV) porphyrin-based nanostructures not only are of interest for solar energy technologies but also have potential applications as photonic (optoelectronic) materials in various micro- and nanoscale electronic devices [ 42 , 43 , 44 ].…”
