Acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization of tetrapyrrolic BF complex 1 and α,α'-dibromotripyrrin 2 gave 5,10,23-trimesityl [28]heptaphyrin(1.1.0.0.1.0.0) BF complex 3BF as a stable and moderate antiaromatic macrocycle. Demetalation of 3BF with methanesulfonic acid followed by treatment with HCl gave free-base salt 3HCl that holds a chloride anion at the core. This salt displays a planar structure with an inverted pyrrole and a stronger paratropic ring current. Metalation of neutral free-base 3 with PdCl gave bis-Pd complex 3Pd as a stable antiaromatic molecule. The H NMR spectrum of 3Pd displays signals due to pyrrolic β-protons in the range of -1.06 ∼ -1.90 ppm, indicating the unprecedented strong paratropic ring current.
四吡咯硼酸配合物1与α,α'-二溴三吡咯2的酸催化傅克型环化反应生成了5,10,23-三均三甲苯基[28]七卟啉(1.1.0.0.1.0.0)硼酸配合物3BF,它是一种稳定的中等反芳香性大环化合物。用甲磺酸对3BF进行脱金属处理,随后用盐酸处理,得到了在核心处含有氯离子阴离子的游离碱盐3HCl。该盐呈现出一种具有倒置吡咯和更强抗磁环电流的平面结构。用PdCl对中性游离碱3进行金属化反应得到双钯配合物3Pd,它是一种稳定的反芳香性分子。3Pd的1H NMR谱在-1.06 ∼ -1.90 ppm范围内显示出由于吡咯β-质子产生的信号,表明存在前所未有的强抗磁环电流。
