Rotational oscillation of two interlocked porphyrins in cerium bis(5,15-diarylporphyrinate) double-deckers

Abstract

Dynamic NMR coupled with racemization studies on chiral cerium bis(5,15-diarylporphyrinate) double-deckers demonstrate that the two interlocked porphyrin ligands oscillate rotationally around the metal center.
