Chlorophyll f is the most recently discovered of all the chlorophyll‐like pigments. It contains a formyl group at the C‐2 position. It was found in cyanobacterial cultures isolated from microbial structures called stromatolites (Chen et al., 2010; Chen et al., 2012), but is now known to be present in a wide range of cyanobacteria that have been grown using far‐red light (Gan et al., 2014). Similar to the case in chlorophyll d, the formyl group at the C‐2 position shifts the absorbance maximum of this pigment substantially to longer wavelengths compared to chlorophyll a.
