Ladder oligomers with two or three nickel hemiporphyrazine units are synthesized via Diels-Alder reaction, using intermediates with isobenzofuran moieties as diene components.

The new substituted (hemiporphyrazinato)nickel complexes [HpNi] 3-9 and 11-14, the (heminaphthoporphyrazinat0)nickel complexes 15-19 [HnpNi], and the hemianthracenophorphyrazine complex [HapNi] 20 are prepared from isoindolenines la-e and 1Oa-d, diaminopyridines 2a-e and (:hem.

The synthesis of new soluble hemiporphyrazinato-nickel-complexes 1 as bisdienophiles for Diels-Alder-polymerisation is described. By variation of position and type of the substituents attached to ':he hemiporphyrazine system soluble monomers were obtained. The compounds were characterized by IH-, 13C-NMR and m a s s spectroscopy. Reacting these bisdienophiles with dienes yielded bisadducts as model compounds. Dimers and oligomers of the hemiporphyrazines could be obtained by repetitive Diels-Alder reaction with suitabl'e bisdienes like cyclic tetraenes 2. The oligomers were studied by NMR-and mass spectroscopy.
