Multiporphyrin ArraysAssembled Through Hydrogen Bonding
Although relatively weak in isolation, composite H-bonds can be used as an advantage for the assembly of relatively robust and well-defined arrays...
-
Axial Coordination to Metalloporphyrins Leading to Multinuclear Assemblies
The use of axial coordination to metalloporphyrins is discussed on the basis of constructing multinuclear complexes. Starting with single...
