Synthesis of rubyrins containing two or three heteroatoms (O, S, Se) in the core is accomplished using modified diols and tetrapyrromethanes. Substitution of heteroatoms leads to significant reductions in HOMO-LUMO gap and easier oxidations and reductions reflecting the changes in electronic structure of the rubyrin skeleton.
