Key Points

The aim is to synthesize a new N-confused hexaphyrin and explore its properties upon oxidation and metallation.
Synthesized mono-meso-free N-confused hexaphyrin 1
Oxidized hexaphyrin to form a Cmeso-Cmeso linked dimer
Metallated 1 with Cu(II) in a solvent mixture of MeCN/MeOH
The synthesized hexaphyrin shows weak Möbius aromatic characteristics
Oxidation resulted in a stable dimer formation
Metallation altered the absorption properties, indicating tunability

Implication

Synthesizes a mono-meso-free N-confused hexaphyrin, revealing its tunable properties and implications for materials science.

Abstract

A weakly Möbius aromatic mono-meso-free N-confused hexaphyrin 1 was synthesized and oxidized into a Cmeso-Cmeso linked dimer (1)2. Interestingly, metallation of 1 with Cu(II) in MeCN/MeOH afforded not only 1-Cu...
