Tweezers hosts for intercalation of Lewis base guests:Tuning physico-chemical properties of cofacial porphyrin dimers

The synthesis and both spectroscopic and electrochemical studies of a bis-porphyrinic tweezer are reported, as well as the insertion of Lewis base guests into the host bis-porphyrinic cavity, monitored through physico-chemical characteristics.
