Abstract

Rigid, star-shaped D 3-symmetric arrays have been synthesized in which three porphyrin macrocycles are attached to the 1, 3, and 5 positions each of a benzene core through linkers consisting of collinear repetitive phenylethynyl units. Using the same methodology, a dendridic porphyrin hexamer having an external diameter of ca. 10 nm has been also obtained. By successive substitution of the three benzene positions, both a porphyrin ...
