Texaphyrins are provided for use as radiation sensitizers. Advantageous properties of texaphyrins for use as a radiation sensitizer include: i) a low redox potential which allows radiation-induced hydrated electrons to ...

The present invention provides various novel matrix-supported texaphyrins in which a polymeric or solid matrix is covalently modified by the addition of one or more texaphyrins or texaphyrin derivatives. Described are ...

Texaphyrin metal complexes having improved functionalization include the addition of electron-donating groups to positions 2, 7, 12, 15, 18 and/or 21 and/or the addition of electron-withdrawing groups to positions 15 and/or ...

The present invention provides various novel covalently modified sapphyrin derivatives and conjugates; polymers including sapphyrin or derivatives thereof; and chromatographic supports including sapphyrins and other expanded ...

The invention is directed to a method of incorporating expanded porphyrins, and particularly of incorporating a sapphyrin or a texaphyrin, before, during, or after chemical synthesis of an oligomer to form an expanded ...

Texaphyrin metal complexes having improved functionalization including the addition of electron donating groups to positions 12, 15, 18 and/or 21 and/or the addition of electron withdrawing groups to positions 15 or 18 of ...
