Boron(III) complexation was investigated in a series of β-substituted porphycenes. Unlike -arylporphycenes, these macrocycles undergo a facile complexation reaction. Upon fusion of the β,β'-positions of the porphycene ligand, the complexation resulted in fast insertion of boron, forming the -BOF complex.

- We successfully created a new compound called 3,6,13,16-tetrapropylporphycene from a specific precursor, showcasing stronger substituent effects compared to similar compounds.
- The freebase version of this porphycene demonstrated moderate fluorescence and the ability to interact with certain metal ions like Zn(II), leading to increased light emission.
- Both the Pd(II) complex and a related compound produced significant amounts of singlet oxygen, suggesting their potential utility in photodynamic therapy for medical applications.
