The first structural analogs of the photosynthetic reaction center ( 1 and 2 ) have been synthesized in which the electron acceptor is attached to an electron donor consisting of a pair of porphyrin subunits held within 3 Å of each other. Electrochemical studies of the anthraquinone derivative 1 suggest that the acceptor and the bis‐(porphyrinato) zirconium subunit are interacting electronically.
