DOI: 10.1002/cmdc.202200070
Abstract: In this study we prepared aqueous solutions of lipid‐membrane incorporated tetraarylporphyrins and tetrapyridylporphyrin (LMIPors) by the injection method using dimethyl sulfoxide. The porphyrins with proton‐donor groups at the meso position afforded stable aqueous solutions of… read more here.
