RESUMEN
Synthetic access to a set of metallo- and free base bis-porphyrins has been provided by a stepwise approach involving sequential peptide and Suzuki couplings. Linking these porphyrins through a 3,3'-biphenyl bridge enables cooperative binding to ditopic ligands such as the bipyridyls. Association constants and binding stoichiometry has been determined by spectroscopic/spectrophotometric means and the differences in the binding affinities of a small series of diaza ligands is discussed in the context of structural fit and microscopic association constants.

An olefination approach to the construction of covalently linked cyclic metalloporphyrin trimers is presented using fullerenes such as C(60) or C(70) as a template. Yields of the trimer approach 60%. In the absence of a template, the major product is the cyclic dimer (50% yield) with only a small amount of trimer (<10%) formed, indicating this is a template-directed approach.
