meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (Cat No.: M053525) is a porphyrin derivative featuring four carboxyphenyl groups at the meso positions. These carboxylic acid groups enhance its water solubility and allow for easy conjugation to biomolecules or surfaces. TCPP is widely used in photodynamic therapy (PDT), fluorescence imaging, and the development of light-harvesting systems due to its strong absorbance in the visible region. Its metal-chelating core also makes it valuable in catalysis, sensor design, and supramolecular chemistry for creating functional organic and hybrid materials.
