Just a quick post about a couple of papers I saw while surfing through Angewandte Chemie earlier today.

The best porphyrin structure I’ve seen for a while is right there in Early ViewHarry Anderson and cohorts in Oxford have used a porphyrin to template the formation of a conjugated octaporphyrin ring (thought I’d mention this before carbon-based curiosities get a hold of it… I’ll see about getting our blogroll updated as ChemBark needs a direct link as well…).

Other than that, there’s an essay about Mendeleev that will keep me occupied on the train this evening, 100 years since he died apparently…
