Global aromaticity in a partially fused 8-porphyrin nanoring

Template-directed synthesis has been used to prepare a fully π-conjugated cyclic porphyrin octamer, composed of both β,meso,β-edge-fused porphyrin tape units and butadiyne-linked porphyrins. The UV–vis–NIR spectra of this partially fused nanoring show that π-conjugation extends around the whole macr...
