Popis: Advances in chlorin synthetic chemistry now enable the de novo preparation of diverse chlorin-containing molecular architectures. Five distinct molecular designs have been explored here, including hydrophobic bioconjugatable (oxo)chlorins; a hydrophilic bioconjugatable chlorin; a trans-ethynyl/iodochlorin building block; a set of chlorins bearing electron-rich (methoxy, dimethylamino, methylthio) groups at the 3-position; and a set of ten 3,13-disubstituted chlorins chiefly bearing groups with extended π-moieties. Altogether 23 new chlorins (17 targets, 6 intermediates) have been prepared. The challenge associated with molecular designs that encompass the combination of "hydrophilic, bioconjugatable and wavelength-tunable" chiefly resides in the nature of the hydrophilic unit.
