Description
Summary:	A versatile and straightforward protocol is disclosed for controlled synthesis of complex lanthanide‐bridged heteroleptic porphyrin–phthalocyanine triple‐decker assemblies. Two porphyrins, linked by a flexible spacer chain of intermediate length, sequentially capture lanthanide ions and a phthalocyanine to efficiently form the triple‐decker complex. The bridge directs assembly, but also controls the mobility of the central macrocycle and further imparts a fully eclipsed arrangement of all three rings. A versatile and straightforward protocol is disclosed for the controlled synthesis of complex lanthanide‐bridged heteroleptic porphyrin–phthalocyanine triple‐decker assemblies (see scheme). The bridge directs assembly, but also controls the mobility of the central macrocycle and further imparts a fully eclipsed arrangement of all three rings.
