Usage Note

Tetrabenzoporfirina is a highly specialised term in organic and materials chemistry, denoting a porphyrin macrocycle in which four benzo groups are fused to the pyrrole rings. These compounds are studied for their semiconducting and optical properties. The prefix tetra- (four) and benzo (benzene-derived ring) are productive in chemical nomenclature.
