Book
In 2015, Abílio Sobral published a book on laboratory projects for the synthesis of pyrroles and porphyrins. As an area where the author conducts much of his research, it was natural to compile and organize various experiments, framing them within the same theoretical perspective that unites them: the chemistry of biologically and technologically relevant heterocycles, from hemoglobin to oxygenation reaction catalysts and porphyrin-based polymers. The book, titled "Laboratory Projects for the Synthesis of Pyrroles and Porphyrins," is structured as a collection of standalone laboratory projects of varying complexity, designed for use in internships or laboratory classes in Organic Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry courses. Its publication was fully supported by FCT. The first edition was released in September 2015. Legal Deposit: 398768/15. Pages: 159. ISBN: 978-989-20-6038-5.
