Phenanthrene?Embedded Carbaporphyrinoids and Related Systems: From Ligands to Cages and Molecular Switches

This Review discusses the recent developments in field of synthetic chemistry PAH–porphyrin hybrids, emphasizing phenanthrene-embedded carbaporphyrinoids and related systems. The discussion covers various aspects phenanthriporphyrin its derivates chemistry, including their spectroscopic features, aromaticity, core reactivity, coordination properties. development expanded phenanthriporphyrinoids is outlined, followed by presentation incorporating hydrocarbon moieties such as fluorene, biphenyl, terphenyl, dibenzo[g,p]chrysene. exploitation a unique class ligands for organometallic discussed, altogether with use construction conformational stereochemical switches. perspective using macrocycles building blocks carbaporphyrinoid cages also outlined.
