Down to the wire : Photobleaching dynamics show the exciton delocalization length of directly linked porphyrin arrays (see picture) to be about four or five porphyrin units at the single‐molecule level. This result provides a better understanding of how light‐signal transmission occurs in the solid state and gives a perspective for the porphyrin arrays to be used as single‐molecule photonic wires.
