Inclusion of C-60 into an adjustable porphyrin dimer generated by dynamic disulfide chemistry

A new, highly flexible porphyrin dimer was isolated in preparative scale from a dynamic disulfide library; this receptor adjusts to fit guests with a wide range of steric requirements and, whilst C-60 proved to be an unsuitable template for this library, a new C-60-porphyrin complex was isolated and characterised.
