Tetrapyrrolic Macrocycles: Synthesis, Functionalization and Applications 2018

Natural and synthetic macrocycles like porphyrins, corroles and phthalocyanines are considered strong candidates to be used in different fields, such as catalysis, sensing, medicine, materials science, or in the development of advanced biomimetic models. All these applications are strongly dependent on the availability of compounds with adequate and specific structural features. This Special Issue has collected 13 contributions which consolidate and expand our knowledge on the application of these macrocycles in different fields accompanied by innovative synthetic methodologies to afford and to functionalize this type of compounds.
