“…[23] Many of the expanded carbaporphyrinoids share structural features of an archetypical hexaphyrin [24,25] framework. Thus av ariety of hexaphyrinoids incorporating different carbocyclic subunits,for example,cyclohexene, [26] hexahydronaphthalene, [27] meta-, [13,[28][29][30][31][32][33] and para-phenylene, [33][34][35][36][37][38][39] biphenylene, [14] N-confused-, [40][41][42][43] and neo-confused pyrrole, [44,45] indene, [46] azulene, [47] pyridine, [48] phenanthrene, [22] and triphenylene were synthesized and studied. [49] Thenaphthiporphyrins,that is,carbaporphyrinoids incorporating an aphthalene ring, formally share attributes of both-regular size,a nd expanded porphyrinoids (Scheme 1).…”
