Guest-responsive structural changes of porphyrinogen inclusion crystals: a long-range cooperative effect on guest inclusion

Abstract

meso-Octaethylporphyrinogen inclusion crystals with lower alcohols undergo reversible guest-responsive structural changes, for which a long-range cooperative effect with a Hill coefficient of 40 is observed.
