“…79 Porphyrins are one of the most promising examples of the vast array of molecular systems that are appropriate for such an approach, particularly because of their planar aromatic macrocycle, which is ideal for π−π stacking interactions and provides a versatile platform for peripheral decoration with groups that can offer additional interaction motifs. In fact, porphyrins, metalloporphyrins, and their assemblies like, rods, 80 rings, 81,82 sheets, 83 spheres, 84 wires, 85,86 and tubes 87 have been explored in the past few years to afford various structural, electronic, photocatalytic, and biological characteristics. Fan et al constructed an ultrathin shell of about a single molecule thickness, mainly composed of iron-porphyrin monomers, by a covalent assemble strategy (Figure 7).…”
