“…63 The use of substituted maleonitriles and pyrrolines led to the discovery of a new class of non centrosymmetric ABBB type macroheterocycles, viz., porphyrazine deriva tives, called triazoleporphyrazines. 18 For example, the reactions of 3,4 bis(4 tert butylphenyl) 2,5 diimino pyrroline with 3,5 diamino 1,2,4 triazole or 1 dodecyl 3,5 diamino 1,2,4 triazole in a molar ratio of 3 : 1 pro duced hexakis(4 tert butylphenyl)triazoleporphyrazine 38a and its N dodecyl substituted analog 38b, respec tively, in good yields (Scheme 9). The reactions of triazoleporphyrazine 38a with nickel, copper, and cobalt acetates in DMF at 100 °C afforded 18 the corresponding complexes 39a-c (Scheme 10).…”
