title: Non-covalent synthesis in aqueous solution of discrete multi-porphyrin aggregates with programmable stoichiometry and sequence.
abstract: This unprecedented calixarene templated, noncovalent synthesis of multi-porphyrin complexes in aqueous solution makes it possible to plan the nature, stoichiometry, and sequence of porphyrins. The proposed method presents the same accuracy of the covalent approach and a 100% yield, but it is not as time-consuming as the latter method.
