Mechanically interlocked porphyrinoids: self-assembly of metal-stabilised catenaphyrins.

Metal-stabilised catenanes comprising two porphyrinoid-like macrocycles were obtained via the self-assembly of bipyrrole and dipyrromethane dialdehydes with bipyridyl-based diamine in the presence of a metal template. Reported architectures exhibited…
