Abstract

Porphyrins are planar aromatic macrocycles and ubiquitous in nature [1]. Their monometallic complexes are involved in many key processes of life, such as: respiration and photosynthesis [2–4]. Since their discovery, these exceptional systems stimulated enormous interest. Their isolation and subsequent total synthesis shed light on their constitution and function and in turn this research was rewarded with several nobel prizes [5].
