A new series of shape‐persistent metallomacromolecules G0 and G1 as well as corresponding ligands, based on thiophene‐functionalized bis terpyridine‐Ru(II) with truxene moieties, as the nodes, were developed. All new compounds were fully characterized by 1 H, COSY, and 13 C NMR, as well as MALDI‐TOF MS. Their photophysical properties revealed that the branched scaffold resulted in high molar absorption coefficients and broad absorption making these materials potential candidates for light‐harvesting.
