A Review and Critical Analysis of Equilibrium and Redox Data for Porphyrins and Metalloporphyrins

The aim of the work is to review and interpret the equilibrium solution chemistry of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins. Porphyrin chemistry is a very active, emerging area of solution chemistry. It is relevant to bioinorganic and bioorganic processes. An understanding of the principles and energetics of such processes may give useful information for organic synthesis and bio- and biological chemistry. Thermodynamic and equilibrium data published in this highly active field needs compilation and, where the number of published data allows, also a critical evaluation.

Data compiled, critical assessment completed. At its 2000 meeting Commission V.6. decided to terminate this project.
