Two Vernier-templated routes to a 24-porphyrin nanoring.
Many hands make light work: Small templates working together have directed the formation of a giant π-conjugated macrocycle with a diameter of 10 nm-larger than many enzymes. The 24 porphyrin subunits of the nanoring are well resolved in the STM image. The conformation of the nanoring can be control...
