A waterwheel-shaped meso-meso-linked porphyrin pentamer.
Wheels on water? A waterwheel-shaped porphyrin pentamer has been synthesized by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The key intermediate is a boronate porphyrin, in which four boronic ester groups are directly attached to the meso-positions.
