12. Based on the successful synthesis of molecular squares from alkyl-functionalized dipyridyl porphyrins lacking ethynyl groups (P. J. Stang, J. Fan, Chem. Commun. 1997, 15, 1453-1454; R. V. Slone, J. T. Hupp, Inorg. Chem. 1997, 36, 5422-5423) rectangle construction was initially attempted using the same porphyrins as long edges. Unfortunately, discrete rectangles could not be isolated. In retrospect, the problem almost certainly is steric, stemming from the ca. 90° orientation of the rhenium-coordinating pyridyl functionalities with respect to the porphyrin itself and the subsequent crowding likely accompanying rectangle formation. The elimination of pyridine-proximal alkyl groups and the addition of ethynyl spacers at the 5- and 15-positions permits co-planarization of the porphyrin and appended pyridines and allows for formation of the desired rectangles.
