Doubly N -confused dioxohexaphyrins were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry in the -2.5 to +2.0 V vs Ag | Ag + (0.10 M, in CH3CN) range. Six reversible monoelectronic processes were found suggesting that the rich electrochemistry of porphyrin systems was preserved in that expanded macrocycle. However, the electronic and electrochemical properties of the free-base, Cu(II) and Ni(II) species were shown to be sensitive to the coordinated transition metal ions and solvent revealing a quite complex behavior, probably reflecting the higher flexibility and strong conformational effects on the energy levels and stability of those complexes.
