Enhanced electronic conjugation in anthracene-linked porphyrins

Despite their larger separation, the porphyrin groups in 1 are more strongly conjugated than in analogous compounds in which butadiyne is the bridging unit. This stronger electronic coupling in 1 results in a bathochromic shift in its absorption and emission spectra.
