Theoretical analysis of expanded porphyrins: Aromaticity, stability, and optoelectronic properties

Expanded porphyrin systems are capable of binding a variety of substrates due to their increased cavity size and aromatic nature, holding important applications as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents and as sensitizers for photodynamic therapy. It is there of fundamental interest to know the...
