- Description: Six different nanoarchitectures were constructed by a series of synthetic bio-inspired chiral porphyrin dimers through molecular self-assembly behaviour. A plausible mechanism of chiral expression from the molecular to the macroscopic levels was investigated through an analysis of the optical spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.

- Description: The facile synthesis and characterization of four porphyrin dimers which introduced stereomeric centers with chiral amide-bonded para- and meta-disubstituted benzo-moiety is reported. Trends in the electronic structures and optical and redox properties are analyzed through a comparison with theoretical calculations to explore the effect of positional isomerism of the bridging benzene rings.
