title: Thermolysis of vic-dihydroxybacteriochlorins: a new approach for the synthesis of chlorin-chlorin and chlorin-porphyrin dimers.
abstract: [formula: see text] A novel approach for the preparation of symmetrical (chlorin-chlorin), and unsymmetrical (chlorin-porphyrin) dimers joined with carbon-carbon linkages as models to study the "intramolecular" charge transfer is discussed.
