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.

As isomers of the regular porphyrins, N-confused porphyrins have attracted extensive attention of chemists because of their unique chemical structures, chemical reactivities, and physical properties, which result in their promising applications in the fields of catalytic chemistry, biochemistry and material science. Typically, N-confused porphyrins are synthesized via acid catalyzed condensation and following oxidation during which lactams are often formed as the byproducts. Here we report doubly N-confused and ring-contracted [24]hexaphyrin(1.
