Key Points

The aim is to investigate how curvature influences the supramolecular polymerization of porphyrin dyads.
Utilized scissor-shaped azobenzene dyads for polymerization studies.
Examined the effect of curvature on polymerization paths and structures.
Analyzed various topologies formed during the polymerization process.
