A macrocycle‐linked polymer architecture that involves thiophene linkages between the phthalocyanine rings (see picture) has been found to have conductivities three orders of magnitude higher than previously investigated macrocycle‐linked materials. Rigid three‐dimensional iptycene scaffolds were used to prevent aggregation of the macrocycles, and yield highly soluble monomers with a cleft around the axial coordination sites of the metal center.
