An exciting twenty-year journey exploring porphyrinoid-based photo- and electro-active systems

This review highlights the combined effort of the Torres and Guldi groups in the preparation and study of porphyrinoid-based photo- and electro-active systems. The perfect synergy between the deep knowledge on the chemistry of porphyrinoids and advanced carbon allotropes possessed by the Spanish team, and the profound expertise in the advanced photophysical characterization and photon- and charge-management held by the German group represents...
