Current applications of porphyrins in medicine and optics, such as photodynamic therapy or nonlinear absorbers, increasingly require the use of far-red absorbing dyes. Modifications of the porphyrin structure to accommodate these conditions can be achieved by extending the conjugation of the porphyrin π-system, which causes a bathochromic shift in the absorption spectrum. Thus, conjugated porphyrin oligomers have found widespread use. However, past synthetic strategies have mainly targeted symmetric porphyrin dimers, trimers, and oligomers, which limit the practical use of such chromophores. Here, a series of symmetric and unsymmetric dimeric and trimeric porphyrin systems, which are connected by conjugated linkers, namely alkyne and phenylacetylene, were synthesized by palladium-catalyzed C-C coupling re-
