cyclobutane epoxide reaction between norbornyl appended porphyrin moieties and a
diepoxide functionalised phenyl diimide spacer. The tweezers contain several rotational
degrees of freedom; about the porphyrin with respect to the norbornyl linker, and between
the two norbornyl backbone sections. The ability of ZnII metallated tweezer 1 to complex 1, 4‐
diazabicyclo [2.2. 2] octane (DABCO) was studied by UV/Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy and …
