A-06110598A Supplementary Methods 1. Materials All the reagents and solvents were of commercial reagent grade and were used without further purification unless otherwise noted. Dichloromethane and 1,2- dichloroethane for reaction medium were distilled over Ca 2 and toluene was distilled over sodium metal. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWTs) produced by CVD process using a silica-supported Co-Mo catalyst (CoMoCAT) were purchased from SouthWest anotechnologies, nc 1. 2. Equipments UV VS-R spectral measurements were conducted using UV-3100PC scanning spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Co.). Circular Dichroism spectra were recorded on J-820 and J-600 spectropolarimeters (JASC nternational Co. Ltd.). Photo luminescence spectra were measured on SPEX anolg (oriba Ltd.). Centrifugation was carried out with eckman J2-21M/E. Tip-sonication was performed with MSX (550W, 20 kz). 3. Synthesis of 1,3-bis(10',20'-di(1''-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2''-phenylethyl)- porphinatozinc()-5'-yl)benzene (chiral nano-tweezers (R)- and (S)-1) Since (R)- and (S)-1 were prepared by the same procedure starting from the corresponding (R)- and (S)-phenylalaninal (Figure S1), the typical procedure for the preparation of (R)-1 is shown below. Finally, the same spectral data on UV-VS, 1 MR and MALD-TF-MS were obtained in (R)- and (S)-1. 3-1. 5,15-Di(1'-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2'-phenylethyl)porphyrin PhC 2 C 2 t-u t-u 2 C + PhC 2 C 1.
