title: Photophysical properties of bridged core-modified hexaphyrins: conjugational perturbation of thiophene bridges.
abstract: The role of thiophene bridges in determining the photophysical properties of bridged core-modified hexaphyrins is investigated. Depending on the substituted chalcogen atoms and conjugational perturbation across the thiophene bridges, the bridged core-modified hexaphyrins reveal unique photophysical properties.
