Porphyrin and Phthalocyanine Chemistry

A girl's best friend and diamondoid hydrocarbons have something in common: transparent glass crystals of [121312]hexamantane (1) appear like diamonds with a pronounced luster. Regarding 1 as a jewel, it may be thought of as a nanometer-sized diamond of 10−20 carat (1 carat=0.2 g). This and other advances in adamantane chemistry are presented herein.
