“…4 Additionally, these molecules have been widely used in the study of various charge-transfer 5 and energy-transfer 6 processes. In the past decades, a large number of porphyrinoids linked with various π-electron rich and biologically relevant chromophores including anthracene, 7 anthraquinone, 8 fluorescein, 9 perylene, 10 fluorene, 11 pyrrolo [1,2-a]quinoxaline, 12 coumarin, 13 quinoline, 14 imidazole, 15 thiazole, 16 and pyrazole 17 have been synthesized through peripheral functionalization involving mesoand β-positions of meso-tetraarylporphyrins. Among these, the β-substituted porphyrins often demonstrate interesting electronic properties because of direct conjugation of attached scaffold with the 18π-macrocyclic system.…”
