**6. Formation of original copolymers from the EPOP (Easy Polymerization Of Porphyrins) process**

As previously explained, all compounds having two pendant pyridyl groups can play the role of spacers between macrocycles. Consequently, more original organic or inorganic compounds, with specific interesting properties, can be used, if two pendant pyridyl groups are present. Thus, this novel easy way of electropolymerization of porphyrins appears as a promising approach to elaborate new functional materials.
