It is always a great honor that a TEM image of a molecule I took is featured in a graphical abstract. Our latest work on laterally π-extended polyhelicenes in collaboration with Prof. Akimitsu Narita (OIST) has just been published in JACS @J_A_C_S .

Tomoki’s paper is out. Negative cooperativity programs molecular order. A Zn trisporphyrin uses π‑stacking + Zn–ligand coordination to place two guests—one per cleft—yielding a single ternary complex and a 7‑member alternating assembly. https://t.co/4vsrMJ8t90
