title: Gold nanocluster confined within a cage: template-directed formation of a hexaporphyrin cage and its confinement capability.
abstract: A novel container complex in which a 1.4 nm gold cluster is confined within a hexaporphyrin cage was synthesized; the cage showed notable confinement capability for the cluster core, but allowed the interpenetration of small molecules into the interstitial space.
