title: Modulating the electronic properties of porphyrinoids: a voyage from the violet to the infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
abstract: This paper examines the preparation of tailor-made azaporphyrins and analogues exhibiting their Q-bands in several particular and predetermined regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The applications of phthalocyanines, the possibility of preparing novel related porphyrinoids with different colour properties and, consequently, new emerging applications, are discussed.
