Since the discovery of its facile synthesis in 2001, meso-aryl-substituted expanded
porphyrins have been developed as a new class of azaannulenes in light of their facile …

Recently, Baird (anti) aromaticity has been referred to as a description of excited-state (anti)
aromaticity. With the term of Baird's rule, recent studies have intensively verified that the …

This review underscores the conformational flexibility of porphyrinoids, a unique class of
functional molecules, starting from the smallest triphyrins (1.1. 1) via [18] porphyrins (1.1 …

Meso‐aryl expanded porphyrins present a structural versatility that allows them to achieve
different topologies with distinct aromaticities. Several studies appeared in the literature …

Reagent‐controlled chemo‐and regioselective reduction of 5, 15‐diazaporphyrins has been
developed. The selective reduction of carbon–carbon double bonds of diazaporphyrins …

An unstable conjugated homoporphyrin was successfully stabilized by introducing meso‐
aryl substitutents. It was evident from the moderate diatropic ring current found by NMR …

The concept of excited-state aromaticity is receiving much attention in that completely
reversed aromaticity in the excited state (so-called aromaticity reversal) provides crucial …

The synthesis of a new class of carbazole based macrocycles via [3+ 1] acid-catalyzed
condensation is reported. Spectroscopic investigations and computational studies imply that …

Synthetic methodologies leading to porphyrinoids conjugated to pyridyl/pyridinium units are
of longstanding interest in view of the possible application of the obtained derivatives in …

Abstract Internally 1, 3‐phenylene‐and 2, 5‐thienylene‐bridged [46] decaphyrins 2 and 3
have been synthesized. While 2 shows modest aromatic character derived from the global …
