Rigid and flexible linkers are combined in the new dendrimer shown schematically in the picture, which contains nine metalloporphyrin units (Porph). The construction is such that the four "arms" of the dendrimer can fold in a cooperative and predetermined manner in response to added 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO).
