A chirality-memorizing saddle-shaped porphyrin (1(2H)) with 3,5-dipyridylphenyl side arms at the opposite meso positions underwent supramolecular polymerization in CH(2)Cl(2) with a chiral Pd(II) complex of 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (Pd(II)(BINAP)), forming a ladder-shaped polymer (3(2H)) with a prevailing one-handed helical chirality. When this polymer was poured into AcOH containing 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (DPPP) as a decomplexing agent, 3(2H) was depolymerized in a stereochemically retentive way to give optically active 1(2H), hydrogen-bonded with AcOH. Although a cyclodimeric reference of 3(2H), formed from 2(2H) having two 3-pyridylphenyl meso substituents in conjunction with Pd(II)(BINAP), behaved similar to 3(2H), the translation efficiency of helical chirality was lower than that in the case with 3(2H).
