“…Among these, the porphyrinoids fused with π-electron rich aromatic and heteroaromatic systems have often shown larger molar extinction coefficients, and smaller HOMO-LUMO energy gaps which result in enhanced absorption in the red and infrared regions of electromagnetic spectrum. [22][23][24][25][26][27] Also, diverse heterocyclic motifs such as pyrrole, [28] pyrazole, [29,30] imidazole, [31] triazole, [32] pyridine, [33] pyrazine, [34] indole, [35] quinoline, [36] phenanthroline, [37] benzoxadiazole, [37] benzoselenadiazole, [37] quinoxaline, [38] pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine [10,39] and coumarinopyridine [40] fused with β-pyrrolic positions of a porphyrin ring afforded various π-extended porphyrins with encouraging photophysical properties. Nevertheless, the efforts have not been explored to synthesize β-pyrimidine-fused porphyrins yet.…”
