Abstract
A sign of the times: A 1:1 tweezer complex consisting of an achiral bis(zinc porphyrin) and (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane has been characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis (see picture, Zn red, N blue). This has enabled a full and unambiguous rationalization of the highly efficient transfer of chirality information from an optically active guest to an achiral host in a supramolecular system based on a bisporphyrin to be carried out.
