Porphyrinoids are pyrrole-containing macrocycles with varied core sizes, which have found many applications beyond the original chemical and biological aspects. Porphyrin research has a long history, covering a wide variety of disciplines of natural sciences, including photosynthesis, P450-related biocatalysis, organic photovoltaic cells, photodynamic therapeutic agents, bioimaging probes, chemosensors, conductive organic materials, light-emitting materials, near-infrared dyes, nonlinear optical materials, information storage, molecular wires, and metal ligands. This book gives an overview of the applications and potential applications of porphyrins and related macrocycles as smart or functional materials. Chapters cover applications in fields such as energy storage and transfer, water purification, molecular electronics and imaging. With contributions from leading global researchers, this title will be of interest to graduate students and researchers across materials science, chemistry, physics and medicine.

Tobias Rüffer joined the chemical company Leuna-Werke for a professional education as chemical engineer conducted at the Ingenieurschule für Chemie “Justus von Liebig” in Magdeburg. After one year R&D work experience in heterogeneous catalysis in Leuna he started to study chemistry at the TH “Carl Schorlemmer” Leuna-Merseburg, and later on at the MLU Halle-Wittenberg. During his diploma studies he went for one semester to the group of Gyula Palyi at Modena university, while during his diploma thesis he visited the group of Roland Boese at Universität Essen to perform crystallographic studies. He received his Ph D in 1999 under supervision of Dirk Steinborn (MLU Halle-Wittenberg) in main-group organometallic chemistry. After a two-year post-doc stay at Osaka University in the group of Kazushi Mashima he joined the working group of Heinrich Lang at TU Chemnitz and is recently finishing his habilitation. His research interests are focused on coordination chemistry of magnetically active compounds, low-temperature decomposable 3d-transition metal compounds, crystallography and recently the synthesis of porphyrinoids for material science application.
