A non-catalytic condensation of Ni β-aminonorcorrole with aryl aldehydes is shown to produce a family of pyrromethane dimers that undergo deaminative cyclization to yield pyridine-fused bis(norcorrole)s comprising two antiaromatic macrocycles communicating by an aromatic moiety. The new compounds were characterized by spectroscopic, structural, and electrochemical methods supported by DFT calculations, all of which revealed unexpected antiaromaticity enhancement in the fused system.
