Covalently linked, cyclic porphyrin arrays have been explored mainly as artificial photosynthetic antennae and large host molecules. In such arrays, a variety of bridges that connect porphyrins have been employed to control the overall molecular shape and to tune the electronic interaction between neighboring porphyrins. Among these, acetylenic spacers have been often used, because these are easy to incorporate into porphyrin arrays and allow for elongation of conjugation networks. As a different approach, we have explored various cyclic porphyrin arrays by direct meso–meso coupling reactions on the basis of Ag-promoted coupling and Suzuki–Miyaura coupling. 4] In recent years, we have also explored aromatic heterocycle-bridged cyclic porphyrin arrays. The b-to-b 2,6-pyridylene-bridged cyclic porphyrin arrays exhibit relatively large fluorescence quantum yields and long fluorescent lifetimes, and b-to-b 2,5thienylene-bridged cyclic porphyrin arrays exhibit large twophoton absorption (TPA) cross-section values, owing to effective electronic delocalization through the thienylene linkages. Zinc(II) complexes of meso-to-meso 2,2’-bithiophene-bridged cyclic porphyrin arrays are suitable for multicharge storage and hence are of interest as molecular information storage systems. As an extension of these studies, we attempted to synthesize meso-to-meso 2,5-pyrrolylene-bridged cyclic porphyrin arrays. A pyrrole bridge in cyclic porphyrin nanorings is quite attractive in view of its electron-rich properties, effective conjugation, and possible hydrogen-bonding donating ability. In addition, as indicated for the cyclic porphyrin trimer in Scheme 1, we can consider a formal hexaphyrin-
