"Everyone
interested in the biological and
chemical properties of porphyrins
and related macrocycles will want to
own the Handbook. The editors have
done a terrific job in linking
together the volumes in this very
valuable resource for investigators
in the chemical and biological
sciences."

Porphyrins,
phthalocyanines and their numerous
analogues and derivatives are materials
of tremendous importance in chemistry,
materials science, physics, biology and
medicine. They are the red color in
blood (heme) and the green in leaves
(chlorophyll); they are also excellent
ligands that can coordinate with almost
every metal in the Periodic Table.
Grounded in natural systems, porphyrins
are incredibly versatile and can be
modified in many ways; each new
modification yields derivatives,
demonstrating new chemistry, physics and
biology, with a vast array of medicinal
and technical applications.
As porphyrins are
currently employed as platforms for
study of theoretical principles and
applications in a wide variety of
fields, the Handbook of Porphyrin
Science represents a timely ongoing
series dealing in detail with the
synthesis, chemistry, physicochemical
and medical properties and applications
of polypyrrole macrocycles. Professors
Karl Kadish, Kevin Smith and Roger
Guilard are internationally recognized
experts in the research field of
porphyrins, each having his own separate
area of expertise in the field. Between
them, they have published over 1500
peer-reviewed papers and edited more
than three dozen books on diverse topics
of porphyrins and phthalocyanines. In
assembling the new volumes of this
unique Handbook, they have selected and
attracted the very best scientists in
each sub-discipline as contributing
authors.
This Handbook will
prove to be a modern authoritative
treatise on the subject as it is a
collection of up-to-date works by
world-renowned experts in the field.
Complete with hundreds of figures,
tables and structural formulas, and
thousands of literature citations, all
researchers and graduate students in
this field will find the Handbook of
Porphyrin Science an essential, major
reference source for many years to come.
