A square cyclic porphyrin dodecamer: Synthesis and single-molecule characterization

Kato A, Sugiura K, Miyasaka H, Tanaka H, Kawai T, Sugimoto M, Yamashita M

We prepared a square cyclic porphyrin dodecamer via the tetramerization of a trimer shaped like a right angle. The molecule was visualized by scanning tunneling microscopy to be square.
