Di(p-benzi)[40]decaphyrin(1.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0) BF complex and tris(p-benzi)[60]pentadecaphyrin(1.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0) BF complex were synthesized by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of α,α'-diborylated tetrapyrrole BF -complex with 1,4-diiodobenzene. Bis-BF complex was converted to bis-Pd complex via its free base. Macrocycles bis-BF and tris-BF complex take Möbius topology but are nonaromatic, since the macrocyclic conjugation is disrupted by the locally aromatic 1,4-phenylene units. In contrast, bis-Pd complex is a weakly Hückel 38π-aromatic macrocycle as evinced by its red-shifted, enhanced, and structured Q-like bands and a small electrochemical HOMO-LUMO gap. Interestingly, one 1,4-pheylene part of bis-Pd complex takes a quinonoidal distorted structure and the other takes a usual benzene structure in a figure-eight conformation with Hückel topology.
通过α,α'-二硼化四吡咯BF -配合物与1,4-二碘苯的铃木-宫浦偶联反应合成了二(对苯并)[40]癸卟啉(1.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0)BF配合物和三(对苯并)[60]十五卟啉(1.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0)BF配合物。双BF配合物通过其游离碱转化为双Pd配合物。大环双BF和三BF配合物具有莫比乌斯拓扑结构,但不是芳香性的,因为大环共轭被局部芳香性的1,4-亚苯基单元破坏。相比之下,双Pd配合物是一种弱休克尔38π芳香大环,其红移、增强和结构化的类Q带以及小的电化学HOMO-LUMO能隙证明了这一点。有趣的是,双Pd配合物的一个1,4-亚苯基部分具有醌型扭曲结构,另一个具有通常的苯结构,呈八字形构象,具有休克尔拓扑结构。
