18. For a directly β,β-linked, yet N-confused, porphyrin dimer that might be axially chiral but has not been stereochemically characterized, see: Chmielewski, P. J. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2004, 43, 5655.

21. 2 in DMF as the solvent, the ring-annulated product was obtained in up to 95% yield. During the reviewing process, a similar cyclization reaction was reported, however, with lower yields: Shen, D.-M.; Liu, C.; Chen, Q.-Y. J. Org. Chem. 2006, 71, 6508.

23. A similar behavior was also observed in meso-β-linked bisporphyrins and corroborated by a crystal structure: Senge, M. O.; Rößler, B.; von Gersdorff, J.; Schäfer, A.; Kurreck, H. Tetrahedron Lett. 2004, 45, 3363.

28. Further chromatographic details: using a Chiralcel OD-H column (Daicel), 7°C, a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min, and n-hexane/2-propanol = 60: 40 as the eluent, or even more efficiently in the case of 4b, using a Chirex 3010 column (Phenomenex), 25°C, a flow rate of 1 mL/min, and n-hexane/ dichloromethane = 60:40 as the eluent.
29. This chromatographic order is true for both chiral adsorbants used, Chiralcel OD-H (Daicel) and Chirex 3010 (Phenomenex).

33. Because Zn is not parametrized in the program packages that were used for the semiempirical calculation of excited states, the metal-free analogue of 4a was investigated instead. This approximation seemed justified because the presence or absence of Zn should not influence the shape of the CD curve substantially.

35. To verify this assumption, three additional PM3 minimum geometries were also optimized with B3LYP/3-21G providing CD spectra identical to the one of the global minimum.

39. 2-symmetry, the same applies for the phenyl group at C-5′ (which, in turn, is bent away from the porphyrin substituent at C-3′).
