Issue 6 of Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences is now available to read online.

The front cover this month features work by Mathias O. Senge and co-workers from Dublin, Ireland. In their work, the authors describe how 5,10-A₂B₂ porphyrins provide diverse nonlinear absorptive responses in the ns regime at 532 nm depending on the structural features.

Read the article in full – it’s free to access for the next six weeks:
