title: First synthesis of porphyrin-phthalocyanine heterodimers with a direct ethynyl linkage.
abstract: The first synthesis of two porphyrin-phthalocyanine heterodimers with a direct triple bond linkage between the macrocycles, designed for the study of photo-induced energy and electron transfer processes, is presented along with preliminary ground state and fluorescence spectroscopic data.
