title: meso-Alkyl-substituted meso-meso linked diporphyrins and meso-alkyl-substituted meso-meso, beta-beta, beta-beta triply linked diporphyrins.
abstract: [reaction: see text] AgPF6-promoted oxidation of 5,10,15-trialkyl zinc(II) porphyrins led to formation of meso-meso linked diporphyrins, which were further oxidized with Sc(OTf)3 and DDQ to give meso-meso, beta-beta, beta-beta triply linked diporphyrins that exhibited a stronger aggregation propensity than corresponding meso-aryl diporphyrins.
