Directional threading of a chiral porphyrin cage compound onto viologen guests

Abstract

We report the face-selective threading of a chiral porphyrin cage compound onto viologen guests that are provided on both ends with substituents of different sizes. Depending on the types of terminal groups on the guest the cage compound orients itself in one of two possible directions.
