Strained macrocycles display interesting properties, such as conformational rigidity, often resulting in enhanced π-conjugation or enhanced affinity for non-covalent guest binding, yet they can be difficult to synthesize. Here we use computational mo... Read More about Template‐Directed Synthesis of Strained meso‐meso‐Linked Porphyrin Nanorings.
