โฆ Synopsis
The synthesis of two cyclic porphyrin dimers is reported. In each case the porphyrins are cotmected by a rigid butadiyne link, and a flexible alkyl chain tc~ter.
The length of this t~her controls both the porphyrin-porphyrin distance, and porphyrin-porphyrin geomet~. It is hoped that the e~tra fl~ibility designed within these molecules will enable them to act as general catalytic hosts for future study.
