title: The supramolecular approach for the syntheses of porphyrin complex species.
abstract: The paper published by C. M. Drain and J.-M. Lehn in 1994 in Chemical Communications offered a new, elegant way of synthesizing, in high yield, porphyrin species with controlled structure and stoichiometry. It also suggested to chemists a new approach: from the understanding to the imitation and exploitation of the wonderful machinery of Nature.
