Title: C-84 Selective Porphyrin Macrocycle with an Adaptable Cavity Constructed Through Alkyne Metathesis

A bisporphyrin macrocycle was constructed from a porphyrin-based diyne monomer in one step through alkyne metathesis. The fullerene binding studies (C{sub 60}, C{sub 70} and C{sub 84}) showed the highest binding affinity of the macrocycle for C{sub 84}, which is in great contrast to its bisporphyrin four-armed cage analogue that showed the strongest binding with C{sub 70}.
