To generate integrated organized molecular properties, multiple components are required to be assembled into the system with sequential and spatial accuracy in accordance design of assembly. Herein, we present a novel programmable synthesis cofacially stacked porphyrin array via repetitive construction peptide duplex. We designed synthesized having two artificial amino acid moieties at trans meso-positions. The can connected another unit by doubly coupling reactions afford duplex bridged porphyrins. In duplex, units cofacially, efficient electronic communication among arrayed was characterized split redox waves cyclic voltammograms. also demonstrated three different square-planar metal ions, namely Cu(2+), Ni(2+), Pd(2+), were arranged inside ladder-type fashion.
