As part of a project aimed at the development of chiral processive catalysts that can write information on a polymer chain we describe the synthesis of two optically active porphyrin macrocycles, which are prepared in 3 steps from an achiral precursor compound. Fluorescence and 1 H‐NMR studies show that one of the macrocycles displays selectivity in the binding of chiral viologen guest molecules.
