Poly(zinc(ii)-5,15-porphyrinylene) from silver(i)-promoted oxidation of zinc(ii)-5,15-diarylporphyrins

Abstract
Zinc(II)-5,15-diarylporphyrins have been effectively polymerized to give poly(Zn(II)-porphyrinylene) in high yields in the reaction with 1.5 equiv. AgPF6 in CHCl3 either in the presence of 0.5% N,N-dimethylacetamide or upon heating.
