Synthesis and self-assembly of giant porphyrin discs.
A giant porphyrin disc (M(w)= 15 kDa) has been synthesized and its self-assembly behaviour at an interface studied by liquid STM which reveals the presence of huge domains (>400 x 400 nm2) of very well ordered and molecularly resolved columnar stacks.
