Abstract

A method for radical coupling of porphyrins using copper(ii) salts as one-electron oxidants was developed. A Zn(ii)-porphyrin bearing an aminophenyl group yielded porphyrin oligomers, and two tri-arylporphyrins were oxidized to form doubly and triply linked dimers. Bromination of doubly linked dimers gave macrocycles with twisted skeletons.
