Porphodimethene–porphyrinogen relationship: the generation of unprecedented forms of porphyrinogen†

Abstract

The electrophilic reactivity of the porphodimethene skeleton towards nucleophiles led the establishment of a synthetic methodology to unprecedented forms of porphyrinogen containing the vinylidene substituents as well as other functionalities in the meso-positions
