Hollow porphyrin prisms: modular formation of permanent, torsionally rigid nanostructures via templated olefin metathesis.
Hollow, hexa-porphyrin prisms of two sizes were template-assembled and covalently locked, via cross-olefin metathesis, into permanent, torsionally rigid structures whose active sites (metal sites) can be both accessed and altered in a facile manner.
