Does aromaticity have a size limit? Evidence is presented for global aromaticity in porphyrin nanorings with circuits of up to 162 …

Linear porphyrin oligomers have found various applications as synthetic molecular wires in the context of light harvesting, solar …

Aromaticity can be a useful concept for predicting the behavior of excited states. Here we show that π-conjugated porphyrin nanorings …

Doping, through oxidation or reduction, is often used to modify the properties of π-conjugated oligomers. In most cases, the resulting …

Recent progress in the synthesis of π-conjugated porphyrin arrays of different shapes and dimensionalities motivates us to examine the …

We report the template-directed synthesis of a π-conjugated 14-porphyrin nanoball. This structure consists of two intersecting …

Linear π-conjugated porphyrin oligomers are of significant current interest due to their potential applications as molecular wires. In …

Quantum interference in charge transport is attracting interest with applications in nanoelectronics and quantum computing. Here, the …

Aromatic and antiaromatic molecules—which have delocalized circuits of [4n + 2] or [4n] electrons, respectively—exhibit ring currents …

Introducing bridging ligands such as DABCO to solutions of linear zinc porphyrin oligomers has previously been shown to lead to the …
