The materials chemistry of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins
TL;DR: Porphyrins and metalloporphyrin this paper provide an extremely versatile nanometer-sized building block for the control of materials properties, and have been explored as field-responsive materials (i.e. interactions with applied electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields) and as chemo-responsive material (e.g., interactions with other chemical species as sensors or for selective binding or catalysis).
