Nitration of Norcorrolatonickel(II): First Observation of a Diatropic Current in a System Comprising a Norcorrole Ring

Abstract: A one-pot reaction of 5,14-bis(mesityl)-norcorrolatonickel(II) with isoamyl nitrite under mild reaction conditions resulted in the consecutive formation of 3-nitro-, 3,12-dinitro- and 3,16-dinitro-, 3,7,12-trinitro-, and 3,7,12,16-tetranitro-norcorrolatonickel(II) in 50-80% yield. The substituted macrocycles retained their antiaromatic character. The observed regioselectivity of the substitution was analyzed by comparing the relative energies of the DFT energy-optimized models of the radical or arenium cationi… Show more

“…Nickel(II) norcorrole 1 is ar ecently discovered 16-pelectron tetrapyrrolic porphyrinoid, which displays an antiaromatic character and areactivity quite distinct from that of aromatic oligopyrroles. [4][5][6] In an attempt to introduce an NH 2 group into 1,w ee mployed 4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-amine [7] in the presence of solid sodium hydroxide in THF (Scheme 1). The amination proceeded with the regioselectivity observed previously for cyanation [5c] and nitration [6b] providing 3aminonorcorrolatonickel(II) 2 in 28 %yield.…”

“…The average deviation from the mean plane defined by all non‐H atoms of the macrocycle is 0.10 Å with the corresponding out‐of‐plane displacements of Ni II atoms of 0.22 Å. The Ni−N distances range from 1.767(4) to 1.794(5) Å and are similar to those observed for monomers 1 – 3 . The mean planes of the macrocyclic subunits in 4 c are almost perpendicular to each other with a dihedral angle of ca.…”

“…Single crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses for 4 c confirmed their structures in the solid state (Figure A). Unlike the parent monomers 1 – 3 , wherein norcorrole rings were almost ideally planar, in dimer 4 c the macrocycles are slightly but noticeably bowl‐shaped . The average deviation from the mean plane defined by all non‐H atoms of the macrocycle is 0.10 Å with the corresponding out‐of‐plane displacements of Ni II atoms of 0.22 Å.…”
