	abstract = {The stepwise, Wilkinson{\textquoteright}s catalyst-induced decarbonylation of [meso-tetraphenyl-2,3-diformylsecochlorinato]Ni(II) (4) to produce the monoformylated pigment [meso-tetraphenyl-2-formylsecochlorinato] (5) and [meso-tetrapheiiylchlorophinato]Ni(II) (6) is described. Thus, we have shown how to degrade one pyrrolic unit of the starting material, [meso-tetraphetiylporphyrinato]Ni(II) (2) in three steps to an aldimine linkage. The conformational changes of the porphyrinic macrocycle during the course of this degradation, as determined by comparison of the X-ray crystal structures of the compounds, are discussed. A comparative study delineates the UV-Vis spectroscopical consequences. In addition, the chemical reactivity of [meso-tetraphenylchlorophinato]Ni(II) (6) suggests the existence of an azepine-derived pyrrole-modified porphyrins (11, 12). (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

	abstract = {Methods for the separation of photosensitizer isomers, such as benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid, benzoporphyrin ethyl monoacid, 2-[1-hexyloxyethyl]-2-devinylpyropheophorbide-a, diethyleneglycol diester benzoporphyrin derivative, tin ethyl etiopurpurin, and phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate, have been systematically developed by CE. Detection was accomplished by UV absorption at 214 nm or by LIF with excitation at 442/488 nm and emission at 690 nm. The effects of three major experimental parameters of buffer types, organic solvents, and surfactant additives are described. The optimized separation conditions were determined so as to provide satisfactory separation efficiency and analysis time. The methods are shown to be suitable for the separation and determination of porphyrin and phthalocyanines regioisomers, diastereoisomers, and enantiomers.},

	abstract = {Chlorophylls, the green pigments responsible for photosynthesis in plants, algae and bacteria, are also part of the daily diet of herbivorous feeders. Numerous metabolic derivatives of the major green pigment, chlorophyll-a, have been found in a wide variety of organisms during the last decade. Studies of these metabolites show that some are antioxidants or cellular signaling mediators in vivo. The metabolites of bacteriochlorophylls-c and d, recently found in the deep-sea dragon fish, Malacosteus niger, function as a visual photosensitizer, enabling the fish to seek their prey in {\textquoteright}the dark{\textquoteright}. Discovery of these metabolites as well as their interesting biological functions raises questions as to the roles of chlorophyll derivatives in the chemical ecology of herbivorous life forms.
