Redox-active molecules that afford high charge density upon attachment to an electroactive surface have applications in molecular-based information storage systems. One strategy to increase the charge density of the molecules is to covalently link a second redox active molecule to the first. Here we describe the synthesis and properties of four porphyrin dyads bearing metalloporphyrins with ethyne or triallyl tethers. These molecules are suitable for attachment to Si(100) surfaces.
