Even though the first expanded porphyrin was reported in the mid-1960s, the advances in its chemistry are more recent. New and powerful synthetic methods have facilitated the availability in affordable quantities of expanded porphyrins in general and core modified systems in particular. This has stimulated interest in studying various properties pertaining to their potential applications in biomedicine and materials chemistry. In this Account, we not only summarize the details of the synthetic methodologies reported, but we also highlight studies that focus on the structural diversity, aromaticity, and anion and cation binding abilities of expanded porphyrins.
尽管第一种扩展卟啉在20世纪60年代中期就有报道，但其化学领域的进展却是最近才取得的。新的强大合成方法使得一般的扩展卟啉，特别是核心修饰体系能够以可承受的数量获得。这激发了人们对研究与它们在生物医学和材料化学中的潜在应用相关的各种性质的兴趣。在本综述中，我们不仅总结了所报道的合成方法的细节，还重点介绍了关注扩展卟啉的结构多样性、芳香性以及阴离子和阳离子结合能力的研究。
