title: Dynamic combinatorial olefin metathesis: templated synthesis of porphyrin boxes.
abstract: A porphyrin macrocyclic square is efficiently prepared by a dynamic combinatorial approach to olefin metathesis and shown by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to self-assemble into highly ordered arrays on a graphite surface.
