Cationic nickel(II), palladium(II), and copper(II) isocorrole complexes were obtained from linear tetrapyrrolic 2,2′bidipyrrin precursors by metal-templated oxidative macrocyclization reactions using silver(I) tetrafluoroborate as the oxidant in 40-69 % yield. The new compounds were characterized by optical and resonance methods. Two products from overoxidation and attack of nucleophiles were identified by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elucidating possible H atom [a] .62, triclinic, space group P1 , a = 11.4751 (2) Å, b = 12.2697(2) Å, c = 15.8838(3) Å, α = 96.196(2)°, = 102.527(2)°, γ = 116.272(2)°, V = 1903.75(7) Å 3 , Z = 2, ρ calc = 1.255 g cm -3 , μ(Cu-K α ) = 1.011 mm -1 , R 1 [I > 2σ(I)] = 0.0479, wR 2 (all data) = 0.1408.
