Synthetic chlorins are not only fluorescent, the modulation of the tetrapyrrole system can also chelate metal ions. Conjugation of linkers at their pyrrolidines allows for conjugation to bio-molecules to create target specificity. By altering these chemo-photophysical properties, this work facilitates the use of chlorins in fluorescent imaging and positron emission tomography (PET).
