N. Yoshida et A. Osuka, Control of dihedral angle of meso-meso linked diporphyrins by introducing dioxymethylene straps of various length, ORG LETT, 2(19), 2000, pp. 2963-2966

Meso-meso linked strapped diporphyrins S-n (n = 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1) w
ere synthesized by intramolecular Ag(I)-promoted coupling of dioxymethylene
-bridged diporphyrins B-n. With decrease of strap length, the absorption an
d fluorescence spectra and the one electron oxidation potentials of S-n cha
nged in a systematic manner, suggesting a progressive increase in electroni
c communication of two porphyrins.
