A porphyrin macroring, mimicking the light-harvesting complex of photosynthetic purple bacteria, was synthesized by self-assembling trisporphyrinatoZn(II) complexes with imidazolyl substituents at both molecular terminals. Very strong complementary coordination of imidazolyl to Zn(II) afforded exclusively the cyclic trimer of trisporphyrin under dilute conditions at 27 °C in CHCl3/MeOH = 9/1 (v/v).1H NMR spectra of the macroring indicate the existence of two topological isomers, one symmetric and one asymmetric. Use of three noncoordinated porphyrinatoZn(II) sites allows a tetrapodal ligand to be incorporated into the cavity of the macroring. A Job plot and the clear bending behavior on UV−vis titration indicated the formation a 1:1 complex; the heterogeneity of two topological isomers was not observed, and both isomers similarly accommodated the tetrapodal ligand. The association constant obtained by curve fitting analysis was 8 × 108M-1in toluene. This large association constant reflects the cooperative nature of three coordination sites.
