Self-Assembly of Discrete Porphyrin/Calix[4]tube Complexes Promoted by Potassium Ion Encapsulation

The pivotal role played by potassium ions in the noncovalent synthesis of discrete porphyrin-calixarene nanostructures has been examined. The <i>flattened-cone</i> conformation adopted by the two cavities of octa-cationic calix[4]tube <b>C4T</b> was found to prevent the forma...
