Efficient syntheses of a cyclic porphyrin dimer, cyclic trimer, cyclic tetramer, linear dimer, linear tetramer, and linear octamer are described.Starting from a zinc porphyrin monomer, simple oligopyridine ligands are used as templates to control oligomerisation by binding to the linear intermediates formed under Glaser-Hay coupling conditions.The oligomeric products have been characterised using FAB, high-resolution electrospray and MALDITOF mass spectrometry.
