1. Materials, Methods and Instrumentation

General Considerations. All chemicals, unless otherwise noted, were purchased from

commercial sources and were used without further purification. Conventional synthetic

reactions were magnetically stirred under an argon atmosphere while microwave-assisted

reactions were also magnetically stirred and carried out using a Discover SP type

microwave apparatus purchased from the CEM Company. Both types of reactions were

monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on MERCK silica gel 60 F254 TLC

aluminum sheets. Volatile solvents were removed via reduced distillation using a Büchi

rotary evaporator at the appropriate temperatures and pressures while nonvolatile

solvents such as 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) and ortho-dichloro- benzene (DCB) were

removed by reduced pressure distillation using a vacuum pump at the appropriate

temperatures and pressures. Flash column chromatography was performed on Merck

silica gel 60 (0.040-0.063 µm). UV-vis and UV-vis-NIR measurements in CHCl3 were

performed on a JASCO V-670 UV-vis-NIR spectrometer equipped with a Peltier sample

holder. Mass spectrometry analysis were performed at the Spectropole (the analytical

facilities of Aix-Marseille University) with a Waters SYNAPT G2 HDMS

quadrupole/Time of flight (QTOF) mass spectrometer (Manchester, UK). Samples were

diluted in a methanolic solution supplemented with 3 mM ammonium acetate as an

ionization salt and directly analyzed by electrospray ionization operated in the positive

ion mode.

Electrochemical and Spectroelectrochemical Measurements. Benzonitrile (PhCN)

was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co. and freshly distilled over P2O5 before use.

Tetra-n-butyl- ammonium perchlorate (TBAP) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co.

(Caution! Perchlorate salts are potentially explosive and should be handled with care.)

All electrochemical and spectro-electrochemical experiments were performed in

oven-dried glassware under a slight positive pressure of argon. Cyclic voltammetry was

performed at 298 K using EG&G Princeton Applied Research (PAR) 173

potentiostat/galvanostat. A homemade three-electrode cell was used for cyclic

voltammetric measurements and consisted of a glassy carbon working electrode, a

platinum counter electrode and a homemade saturated calomel reference electrode (SCE).

The SCE was separated from the bulk of the solution by a fritted glass bridge of low

porosity, which contained the solvent/supporting electrolyte mixture. UV−vis spectra of

the neutral compounds were measured with a Hewlett-Packard 8453 diode array

spectrophotometer. Thin-layer UV−vis spectroelectrochemical experiments were

performed using a home-built thin-layer cell, which has a transparent platinum-net

working electrode. Potentials were applied and monitored with an EG&G PAR Model

173 potentiostat. High-purity N2 from Trigas was used to deoxygenate the solution and

N2 was kept over the solution during each electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical

experiment.

Magnetic Measurements. Magnetic susceptibility data were obtained using a Quantum

Design SQUID magnetometer MPMS-XL operating between 1.8 and 300 K. DC

measurements were performed on a polycrystalline sample of 17.1 mg Tb2 (TD-3) and

8.1 mg Dy2 (TD-4) and. The sample was wrapped in a polyethylene membrane and

subjected to fields in a range from 0 to 7 T. The magnetization data was collected at 100

K in order to check for ferromagnetic impurities that were found to be absent in the

sample. Diamagnetic corrections were applied to correct for contributions from the

sample holder, and the inherent diamagnetism of the sample was estimated with the use

of Pascal’s constants. AC measurements were carried out with frequencies between 1 to

1500 Hz.

Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) measurements. The corresponding triple-

decker complexes were dissolved in 1-phenyloctane and drop-cast deposited onto freshly

cleaved (highly oriented pyrolytic graphite) HOPG (Goodfellow). STM observation was

performed by using low-current STM (Bruker MultiMode 8 with Nanoscope V

Controller) at the solid/liquid interface at room temperature. A mechanically cut Pt/Ir

(80:20) wire was used as the STM tip. Images were processed using WSxM software.1

2. Experimental Data

Synthetic Procedures

Compounds 4-(2,5,5-trimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl) phthalonitrile 5,2 free-base meso-

di-/tetra-undecylporphyrins 7a/7b and meso-tetra-hexadecylporphyrin 7c3 were prepared

according to published procedures.

Synthesis of lanthanide double-decker complexes 6ac:

Double-decker 6a: in a typical procedure following one published literature,4 under an

argon atmosphere, a mixture of 5 (300 mg, 1.17 mmol), DBU (91 mg, 0.60 mmol) and

Gd(acac)3·2H2O (32 mg, 0.07 mmol) was heated in amyl alcohol (5 mL) under reflux

overnight to give a dark greenish-blue solution. The volatiles were removed in vacuum

after which the residue was chromatographed with CHC13/CH3OH (40:1) as eluent. The

first green band contained a small amount of the metal-free phthalocyanine as determined

by UV-vis spectrometry. A following dark greenish-blue band contained the sandwich

compound and was collected and evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained crude

product was further purified by the same chromatographic procedure to yield a dark blue

powder 6a (290 mg, 90%). Rf = 0.51 (CHC13/CH3OH, 40/1). UV-vis-NIR (CHCl3):

(nm) = 325, 461.5, 609.5, 677, 908 (br.), 1659 (br.). ESI-HR-MS: M+2H2+

= 1104.4574;

calcd. for M+ 2H = C120H130N16 O16 Gd2+

=1104.4555.

Double-decker 6b: the dark blue powder 6b was prepared as discussed above for 6a

from 5 (200 mg, 0.78 mmol), DBU (61 mg, 0.40 mmol) and Tb(acac)3·nH2O (23 mg,

0.05 mmol). Yield: 175 mg, 81%. Rf = 0.48 (CHCl3/CH3OH, 40/1). UV-vis-NIR (CHCl3):

(nm) = 325, 458, 608.5, 676.5, 918 (br.), 1619 (br.). ESI-HR-MS: M+2H2+

=1105.4562; calcd. for M+2H = C120H130N16O16Tb2+

=1105.4558.

Double-decker 6c: the dark blue powder 6c was also prepared as discussed above for 6a

from 5 (200 mg, 0.78 mmol), DBU (61 mg, 0.40 mmol) and Dy(acac)3·nH2O (23 mg,

0.05 mmol). Yield: 120 mg, 56%. Rf = 0.64 (CHCl3/CH3OH, 40/1). UV-vis-NIR (CHCl3):

=1107.4579.

Synthesis of lanthanide triple-decker complexes TD-15:

Synthesis of triple-decker TD-1:

Conventional procedure according to published literature.5 A mixture of meso-p-

diundecylporphyrin 7a (31 mg, 0.05 mmol) and Gd(acac)3·2H2O (136 mg, 0.3 mmol) in

1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (6 mL) was heated to reflux in a sea sand bath at 230 ℃ and

stirred for 4 h. The resulting cherry red solution which contained the (Por)Gd(acac)

half-sandwich complex was cooled to room temperature and then the double decker 6a

(110 mg, 0.05 mmol) was added. The mixture was refluxed for 8h (or even longer to 20

h). After removing the solvent under reduced pressure distillation, the sample was

directly sent for mass spectra. The result (Figure S2) showed only a very weak ion peak

attributed to the target TD-1 while the ion peaks of the starting double-decker 6a

dominated, proving that the reaction indeed did occur but that only trace amounts of the

desired product were obtained.

Optimized microwave-assisted procedure. A mixture of meso-p-diundecylporphyrin 7a

(19 mg, 0.03 mmol) and Gd(acac)3·2H2O (84 mg, 0.18 mmol) in ortho- dichlorobenzene

(3 mL) were poured into a 10 mL vial with a pressure cap under 180 ℃, 10 min, 10 bar,

150 W (power), off (powerMax), stirring (high). After cooling down to room temperature,

the double-decker 6a (66 mg, 0.03 mmol) was added and was subjected to 220 ℃, 30

min, 17 bar, 250 W (power), off (powerMax), stirring (high). The solvent was then

removed and the residue was chromatographed with CHCl3/CH3OH (50:1). The first

band (purple, PorH2) was not collected. The second band (green) was collected and

chromatographed with CHCl3 which afforded a green oily powder (34 mg, 38%). Rf =

0.61 (CHC13/CH3OH, 50/1). UV-vis (CHCl3): (nm) = 340.5, 400, 506, 580, 620.5,

727.5. ESI-HR-MS: M+2H2+

= 1491.6437; calcd. for the maximum isotope of

M+2H2+

= C162H186N20O16Gd22+

= 1491.6437.

Synthesis of triple-decker TD-2: Attempts was also made to prepare TD-2 under the

conventional conditions as for TD-1, but the low-resolution mass spectrum shown in

Figure S3, gave only very weak ion peaks which could be attributed to the target TD-2

while the ion peaks from the starting double-decker 6a were again totally dominant. Thus

the microwave-assisted synthesis of TD-2 was carried out as for TD-1 from

meso-tetraundecylporphyrin 7b (19 mg, 0.02 mmol), Gd(acac)3·2H2O (55 mg, 0.12

mmol) and the double decker 6a (44 mg, 0.02 mmol) giving a dark green oily powder

TD-2. Yield: 22 mg, 33%. Rf = 0.82 (CHCl3/CH3OH, 50/1). UV-vis (CHCl3): (nm) =

343, 406, 507, 579, 630.5, 735. ESI-HR-MS: M+2H2+

= 1645.8159; calcd. for the

maximum isotope of M+2H2+

= C184H230N20O16Gd22+

= 1645.8161.

Synthesis of triple-decker TD-3: the dark green oily powder TD-3 was also prepared

under microwave-assisted condition as for TD-1 from meso-tetraundecylporphyrin 7b

(57 mg, 0.06 mmol), Tb (acac)3·nH2O (164 mg, 0.36 mmol) and double-decker 6b (130

mg, 0.06 mmol). Yield: 55 mg, 28%. Rf = 0.77 (CHCl3/CH3OH, 50/1). UV-vis (CHCl3):

(nm) = 342.5, 407, 508, 581, 631, 742. ESI-HR–MS: M+2H2+

= 1647.8182; calcd.

for the maximum isotope of M+2H2+

= C184H230N20O16Tb22+

= 1647.8179.

Synthesis of triple-decker TD-4: the dark green oily powder TD-4 was also prepared

under microwave-assisted condition as for TD-1 from meso-tetraundecylporphyrin 7b

(37 mg, 0.04 mmol), Dy(acac)3·nH2O (110 mg, 0.24 mmol) and double decker 6c (80 mg,

0.04 mmol). Yield: 65 mg, 36%. Rf = 0.85 (CHCl3/CH3OH, 50/1). UV-vis (CHCl3):

(nm) = 343.5, 418, 511, 584, 634, 749. ESI-HR-MS M+2H2+

=1651.3202; calcd. for

the maximum isotope of M+2H2+

= C184H230N20O16Dy22+

= 1651.3203.

under microwave-assisted condition as for TD-1 from meso-tetrahexadecylporphyrin 7c

(18 mg, 0.015 mmol), Tb (acac)3·nH2O (41 mg, 0.09 mmol) and double-decker 6b (33

mg, 0.015 mmol). Yield: 12 mg, 22%. Rf = 0.93 (CHC13/CH3OH, 50/1). UV-vis (CHCl3):

(nm) = 341, 407, 509, 581, 631, 741. ESI-HR–MS: M+2H2+

= 1787.9751; calcd. for

the maximum isotope of M+2H2+

= C204H270N20O16Tb22+

= 1787.9744.
