Background: meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine tetramethyl ester is a synthetic porphyrin specialty chemical manufactured by Frontier Specialty Chemicals. A meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine tetramethyl ester  graphene quantum dot conjugate was investigated for photodynamic therapy applications.¹ meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine tetramethyl ester was used as a starting material for the synthesis of Benzamide porphyrins for PDT applications.²
