Abstract Porphyrins play vital roles in living systems as well as in advanced organic materials science. Efficient synthesis of porphyrins and creation of novel porphyrins are thus important. Recently, organometallic chemistry has become more powerful and is now sophisticated enough to modify porphyrin CH bonds directly, efficiently, and selectively. This Focus Review discusses methods for modifying peripheral porphyrin CH bonds, specifically direct metalations and CC bond formations.
