These 10-silacorroles show substantially red-shifted absorption bands relative to those of normal porphyrins and isocorroles. Notably, the corresponding free base and Zn^II 10-silacorroles exhibit emissions in the NIR region. Theoretical calculations on these 10-silacorroles revealed the presence of σ*–π* conjugation between the silyl group and the tetrapyrrole π system, which significantly lowers their LUMO energy levels.}, pages = {7866--7870}, title = {10-Silacorroles Exhibiting NIR Absorption and Emission}, volume = {22}, year = {2017} }
