Abstract
The first synthesis of meso-fused carbaporphyrin via a premodification method was accomplished by substituting two pyrrole moieties and one meso-carbon with 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)thiophene. The obtained global π-conjugation pathway of the macrocycle noticeably disturbs the 10π local aromaticity of naphthalene, and its aromatic nature was supported by NMR spectroscopy together with nucleus-independent chemical shift, anisotropy of the induced current density, and harmonic oscillator stabilization energy calculations. In addition, the meso-fused carbaporphyrin also allowed the formation of a square planar PdII complex.
