This review surveys recent progress in the chemistry of polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules
with a focus on structural diversity and synthetic methodology. The article covers literature …

The unique environment within the core of carbaporphyrinoid systems provides a platform to
explore unusual organometallic chemistry. The ability of these structures to form stable …

A nanographene-fused expanded carbaporphyrin (5) and its BF2 complex (6) were
synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray structures revealed that 5 and 6 are connected by two hexa …

Two belt-like expanded carbaporphyrins (NB1 and NB2) were prepared via a one-pot
procedure that involves a [6+ 3] condensation between a pyrene-bearing tetrapyrrole …

A fully conjugated three-dimensional (3D) expanded carbaporphyrin (2) was prepared in a
one-pot procedure that involves a [2+ 4] condensation reaction between a dibenzo [g, p] …

Bis-dicarbacorrole (bis-H 3) with two adj-CCNN subunits was synthesized by incorporating a
dibenzo [g, p] chrysene moiety into the macrocyclic structure. The two trianionic cores in bis …

The analogue of octaphyrin (1.1. 1.0. 1.1. 1.0) bearing two dimethoxyphenanthrene units
was synthesized and characterized in solution and solid state. The macrocycle was …

We report here a metal complexation-based strategy that permits access to a highly stable
expanded porphyrin-type quinoidal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Specifically …

meso-Tetraphenyl meta-benziporphyrins are nonaromatic macrocycles which can be
changed to antiaromatic by fusing the core benzene ring with one of the adjacent meso …

An anthracene‐containing meso‐fused carbaporphyrin, which has extended π‐conjugation
pathways as compared to the corresponding naphthalene‐containing carbaporphyrin, has …
