First report of trans-A2B-corrole derived from a lapachone derivative: photophysical, TD-DFT and photobiological assays

Photophysical properties of novel corroles containing lapachol units. DFT calculations and electrochemical analysis were conducted to better understand the corrole molecular structures. Corrole derivatives do not form aggregates in solution and generate ROS species.

About this collection

The development of focused national and international scientific networks has been progressively encouraged by scientific and governmental entities worldwide. The committee of Younger Researchers of the Brazilian Chemical Society (JP-SBQ) was created in 2018, and the official launch of the committee took place during the 42nd Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Chemical Society. The committee aims to promote the representation of Brazilian, young and early-career researchers, fostering communication, collaboration, education, networking, exchange, and career development in an inclusive and effective way. This collection celebrates younger and emerging authors based in Brazil. We hope that you enjoy reading through the collection.

We also welcome relevant submissions to the series. Please contact the Editorial Office to highlight your interest in submitting to this collection, referring the themed collection title.
