AI Article Synopsis
- The process involves using palladium as a catalyst to hydrogenate a specific zinc compound, resulting in a new macrocycle structure.
- This reaction can be reversed by heating in nitrobenzene, allowing researchers to track the transformation through visible color and fluorescence changes.
- The ability to cycle between these two forms could lead to applications in developing catalysts or devices for hydrogen storage based on hemiporphyrazines.
Article Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation of an octahedral zinc trans-ditriflate hemiporphyrazine "HpH2Zn(OTf)2" furnishes a new macrocycle "HpH6Zn(OTf)2". This reaction is fully reversible upon heating in nitrobenzene, and the conversion is easily monitored by changes in color and fluorescence properties. The reversible cycling between these molecules may find future applications in hemiporphyrazine-based catalysts and/or hydrogen storage devices.
