Nonlinear amplification of circular dichroism activity upon cyclodimerization of a chiral saddle-shaped porphyrin.
A cyclic dimer of chiral saddle-shaped porphyrin with p-xylylene linkers, upon interaction with mandelic acid, showed an enhanced circular dichroism activity, which was more than 7 times as large as that of a monomeric reference.
