The primary electron donor in bacterial photosynthesis is a dimer of bacteriochlorophyll molecules. Theevidence for this assertion comes from ESR and ENDOR measurements on the cation resulting from the initial photoact. 1 Similar electron delocalization is known to occur in the radical-ion species of cyclophanes, triptycenes, and other intimate ring systems. 2 This delocalization is strongly dependent on the geometry of these multiring compounds. Linear and loosely stacked dimers of porphyrins have been synthesized, 3-4 but the ring-ring interactions appear to be minimal. In the cases of chlorophyll dimers held together by hydrogen-bonding nucleophiles and urea-linked binary prophyrins, substantial spectral alterations have been observed. 5-6 To evaluate the influence of distance and orientation parameters on the electron-transfer phenomena, we have begun the synthesis of well-defined dimeric sys-tems in whichtransannular interactions can be observed. Re-cently, we reported the first member of a new class of macro-cyclic cyclophanes, tetra-meso-[/), p'-(2-phenoxyethoxycarbonylphenyl)]-s//Y/f/-bisporphyrin, III. 7-8 Now we present the proof of structure and some interesting spectral properties of this compound. s/ra/z-Bisporphyrin III was synthesized by application of the tetraaldehyde modification9 of the Adler-Longo porphyrin condensation procedure. 10 A suitable porphyrin tetraaldehyde, II, was derived from a porphyrin tetrahydroxide, I, by acylation with p-chlorocarbonylbenzaldehyde (Figure 1). Tetra-meio-[p-(2-hydroxyethoxy) phenyl] porphyrin, I, was made by the reaction of pyrrole with p-2-hydroxyethoxyben-zaldehyde11 in refluxing acidified xylene (8 mM in trifluo-roacetic acid). 12 The xylene precipitate was recrystallized from dimethylformamide yielding 14% I: mp> 330 C; pmax (KBr) 1240, 1605 cm~ 1; Amax (pyridine) 426 nm (f 471 000, 14-nm half-width), 521 (16 500), 558 (13 000), 595 (5090), 653 (7500). 13 Anal.

At completion, the solution was neutralized with aqueous base and the products were extracted into chloroform, concentrated, and precipitated with methanol. The precipitate was chromatographed with chloroform on deactivated alumina14 and the first band was collected. Crystallizationfrom CHCL-MeOH resulted in 40% yield of tetraaldehyde II: mp 225-228 C; pmax (KBr) 1240, 1275, 1605, 1705, 1725 cm-1; Amax (pyridine) 425 nm (e 464 000, 14-nm half-width), 519 (17 400), 556 (12 700), 593 (5330), 651 (7170); 13 FT NMR (220 MHz, 1 mM inCDCI3) 15 5 NH at-2.77 (2 H, s), CH20 at 4.61 (8 H, t, J= 4 Hz), C02CH2 at 4.89 (8 H, t, J= 4 Hz), C6H40 at 7.31 (8 H, d, J= 8 Hz), 8.12 (8 H, d,/= 8 Hz), C6H4C02 at 7.99 (8 H, d, J= 8 Hz), 8.32 (8 H, d,/= 8 Hz),/3-pyrrole H at 8.83 (8 H, s), CHO at 10.11 ppm (4 H, s).

Found: C, 71.72; H, 4.36; N, 4.05. 16a strati-Bisporphyrin III was made by theaddition of II and pyrrole (4 equiv) to refluxing propionic acid-ethylbenzene (1: 1)(0.4 mM in II). After 1.5 h, the solvent was removed by evaporation and the pyridine-soluble products were collected and fractionated on a Bio-Beads S-Xl exclusion gel. 17 After a long, diminishing band of polymericporphyrins (R 0.5-1.0), III eluted as a narrow, isolated purple band (R 0.45) followed
