An approach to molecular wires based on quasi-one-dimensional linearly conjugated poly-porphyrin systems is outlined and a rationally designed synthesis of the tetrakisporphyrin 9, a strand some 65 Å in length, via the bis(porphyrin)tetraone 2 is described.
Crossley et al. (1991) studied this question.
