A follow-up of our communication (Akhigbe, J.; Zeller, M.; Brückner, C. ‘Quinoline-annulated Porphyrins’ Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 1322–1325.), this full paper describes the synthesis, structures, and optical properties of the quinoline-annulated porphyrins, π-extended porphyrins with particularly long wavelengths absorption spectra. Akhigbe, J.; Luciano, M.; Zeller, M.; Brückner, C. ‘Mono- and Bisquinoline-annulated Porphyrins from Porphyrin β,β’-Dione Oximes’ J. Org. Chem. 2015, 80, 499–511. DOI: 10.1021/jo502511j

Congratulations to Mike’s first paper from our group!
