title: An efficient synthetic approach to highly conjugated porphyrin-based assemblies containing a bipyridine moiety
abstract: [structure: see text] An efficient and potential stepwise strategy involving the mixed sequence of Stille and Wittig-Horner reactions was used for the preparation of a polyene-substituted bis-porphyrin incorporating a bipyridine moiety.
