Title: Porphyrinoid f-Element Complexes

Journal Article · · Inorganic Chemistry

Porphyrin and related pyrrole-containing macrocycles, collectively porphyrinoids, are adaptable ligands that allow access to a multitude of coordination modes. Judicious modification of the porphyrin core, as well as the pendant substituents, have extended the coordination chemistry of porphyrinoids to include systems that are able to stabilize f-block element complexes with possible utility. Our review focus-es on our group’s efforts to prepare expanded porphyrin and porphyrinogen ligands that can serve as tools to study and apply f-element metal coordination chemistry; it covers the background of the topic, selected syntheses, and application of these species in the chemical and medical sciences
