title: Chiral porphyrin dimer with a macrocyclic cavity for intercalation of aromatic guests.
abstract: Chiral diporphyrin receptor 1, which has a macrocyclic cavity to sandwich aromatic guest molecules via double π-π stacking interactions, enabled the naked-eye detection of an aromatic explosive as well as chiral discrimination in NMR.
