Bis-Porphyrin Racks with Space-Separated Co-Planar Porphyrin Rings

Abstract

A porphyrin appended norbornenyl building block 8 has been isolated and coupled, using a 1,3-dipolar ACE reaction, to yield bis-porphyrin compounds in which the porphyrin moietes are angled upward relative to the norbornane backbone.
