Protonation-Triggered Hückel and Möbius Aromatic Transformations in Nonaromatic Core-Modified [30]Hexaphyrin(2.1.1.2.1.1) and Annulated [28]Hexaphyrin(2.1.1.0.1.1)
2019
Two 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-dithienylethene-embedded hexaphyrins 6 and 8 containing 30π and 28π electrons, respectively, in conjugation exhibit nonaromatic characteristics. Compound 6 shows an unusual bond length equalization in its electronic structure. However, on protonation, 6 exhibits Huckel aromatic characteristics while 8 shows Mobius aromatic characteristics. The changes in aromaticity are accompanied by change in conformation from a figure-eight/twisted structure to an open extended structure.
