Oxidation at position 10 converts the title compounds into dimers. In an extension of this reaction a 15,15′‐ p ‐phenylene‐linked bis(oxophlorin) produces the robust supramolecular array tetrakis(isooxophlorin) 1 . In the crystal 1 has an overall helical structure in which the groove is filled by molecules of n ‐hexane.
