title: Dinaphthoporphycenes.
abstract: Naphthobipyrrole is a potentially useful building block for porphyrin and porphyrin analogue synthesis. Reported here is a simple, generalizable synthetic route to α-formylated, β-substituted naphthobipyrroles and their use in the preparation of binaphthoporphycenes. The resulting binaphthoporphycenes possess a planar geometry as determined via a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis; they also display absorption maxima that are bathochromically shifted compared to simple porphycenes.
