Metalloporphyrins : Tuning Properties and Applications

Porphyrins, composed of four pyrrole subunits, are highly important compounds, which are ubiquitous in biological systems. This book reviews the factors that influence physical and chemical properties of tetrapyrrole species and explores the ways to tune geometric and electronic structures of porphyrins in order to modify their electronic, optical and magnetic characteristics.
