title: A dodecameric porphyrin wheel.
abstract: A dodecameric porphyrin wheel was prepared by Ag(I)-promoted intramolecular coupling of a linear porphyrin dodecamer and was observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Efficient energy hopping along the array was revealed by femtosecond transient anisotropy measurements.
