Innenrücktitelbild: Chirales Porphyrin durch Einbau in metallorganisches Gerüst erlaubt fotoleitende Filme für die Detektion von zirkular polarisiertem Licht (Angew. Chem. 10/2023).

While the porphyrin molecules in solution (red) are planar, as common porphyrin, the porphyrin cores are twisted and chiral upon assembly in the metal-organic framework.

The close packing and the crystalline order of the porphyrin cores in the film result in excellent photoconduction properties and sensitivity to circularly polarized light.
