TEMPLATE-DIRECTED SYNTHESIS OF LINEAR AND CYCLIC BUTADIYNE-LINKED PORPHYRIN OLIGOMERS UP TO A LINEAR OCTAMER

Efficient syntheses of a cyclic porphyrin dimer, cyclic trimer, cyclic tetramer, linear dimer, linear tetramer, and linear octamer are described. Starting from a zinc porphyrin monomer, simple oligopyridine ligands are used as templates to control oligomerisation by binding to the linear intermediat...
