Synthesis and crystal structure of a push-pull quinoidal porphyrin: a nanoporous framework assembled from cyclic trimer aggregates.
A quinoidal porphyrin has been synthesised with such a curved pi-system that pi-pi stacking leads to the formation of cyclic trimer aggregates in the crystal, which pack to generate cylindrical channels with an internal diameter of 1.0 nm.
