This is the fifth set of Handbook of Porphyrin Science.Porphyrins, phthalocyanines and their numerous analogues and derivatives are materials of tremendous importance in chemistry, materials science, physics, biology and medicine. They are the red color in blood (heme) and the green in leaves (chlorophyll); they are also excellent ligands that can coordinate with almost every metal in the Periodic Table. Grounded in natural systems, porphyrins are incredibly versatile and can be modified in many ways; each new modification yields derivatives, demonstrating new chemistry, physics and biology, with a vast array of medicinal and technical applications.As porphyrins are currently employed as platforms for study of theoretical principles and applications in a wide variety of fields, the Handbook of Porphyrin Science represents a timely ongoing series dealing in detail with the synthesis, chemistry, physicochemical and medical properties and applications of polypyrrole macrocycles. Professors Karl Kadish, Kevin Smith and Roger Guilard are internationally recognized experts in the research field of porphyrins, each having his own separate area of expertise in the field. Between them, they have published over 1500 peer-reviewed papers and edited more than three dozen books on diverse topics of porphyrins and phthalocyanines. In assembling the new volumes of this unique handbook, they have selected and attracted the very best scientists in each sub-discipline as contributing authors.This handbook will prove to be a modern authoritative treatise on the subject as it is a collection of up-to-date works by world-renowned experts in the field. Complete with hundreds of figures, tables and structural formulas, and thousands of literature citations, all researchers and graduate students in this field will find the Handbook of Porphyrin Science an essential, major reference source for many years to come.

Preface for Volumes 1–10

Although the porphyrin and tetrapyrrole research area was regarded as “fully matured” during the 20^th century, as evidenced for example by the awarding of numerous Nobel Prizes to its principal researchers, new advances and accomplishments in the field still amaze us as editors. The area continues to blossom and to expand into new areas of science and applications that would probably never have occurred to our 20^th century heroes. An earlier Porphyrin Handbook assembled the large amount of factual data that had been accumulated during the 20^th century. Our new venture, the Handbook of Porphyrin Science takes a completely new look at our research area and comprehensively details the contemporary science now appearing in the scientific literature that would indeed have been hard to predict even 10 years ago. In particular, fundamentally new methodologies and potential commercial applications of the beautiful compounds that we all love are exemplified, fully recognizing the subtitle of the series — “with applications to chemistry, physics, materials science, engineering, biology and medicine”.

The three of us have complementary expertise in physical chemistry, synthetic and bioorganic chemistry, and in synthetic and mechanistic organometallic chemistry; this has enabled us to cover the whole field of porphyrin science and applications, and to devise comprehensive volume and author content. As of the date of writing, between the three of us, we have published more than 1600 tetrapyrrole research articles, and hold 31 patents related to commercial applications of porphyrin science. So we do know our field, and this has enabled us to assemble a firstrate group of experts who have written comprehensive up-to-date chapters with accuracy and authority; we thank our authors for their cooperation and willingness to go along with our highly ambitious schedule for production of these volumes.

We look forward to comments from our readers, and to suggestions that might enable us to expand our basic interests and scientific coverage even further. Meanwhile, we hope that porphyrin researchers, old, new and of the future, will enjoy reading these volumes just as much as we enjoyed planning and, with the help of World Scientific Publishing Company, producing them from manuscript to published article, in a timely manner.
