Chapter I outlines the synthesis, solution chemistry and applications of water-soluble porphyrins. Cationic porphyrins are of particular interest in light of proton-coupled electrocatalysis, photodynamic therapy, and their activity against HIV-1.;Chapter 2 details the preparation of a new class of cationic porphyrins, meso-tetrakis(2, 3, 5, 6-tetrafluoro-4-N,N,N-trimethylanilinium-1-yl)-porphyrin, M(TF;For almost ten years, there has been a continuing dispute concerning the state of aggregation of aqueous meso-tetrakis(N-methyl-4-pyridinium-1-yl)porphyrin, H;Bromination of H;Chapter 5 describes the strong (K... |
