title: Pyridine encapsulated hyperbranched polymers as mimetic models of haeme containing proteins, that also provide interesting and unusual porphyrin-ligand geometries.
abstract: This communication describes the use of non-covalent chemistry to construct recyclable porphyrin cored HBPs. The non-covalent design allows the polymeric backbone to be rescued and reused after porphyrin degradation. The steric environment within the polymeric encapsulated ligand notably affected the porphyrin coordination geometry.
