The aromatic 14π -tetraaryl triphyrin(2.1.1)s were switched to stable antiaromatic 16π P(V) complexes of triphyrin(2.1.1) by refluxing free base triphyrin(2.1.1)s with PCl in a mixture of solvents toluene/triethylamine for 4 h. The P(V) triphyrin(2.1.1)s were characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and their properties were studied in detail by absorption, electrochemical, and density functional theory (DFT) studies. The studies suggested that PCl reduces 14π triphyrins to 16π triphyrins, which were then complexed to form stable antiaromatic P(V) complexes.
