Modulation of Dual Electronic Circuits of [26]Hexaphyrins Using Internal Aromatic Straps

摘要

Annulene chemistry has played a central role in understanding the relationship between the structural and electronic characteristics and aromaticity so far. As an important and intricate class, annuleno(annulenes), that is, annulenes fused to other annulenes have been demonstrated to have a more elaborate bicyclic macrocycle with dual-potential electronic networks, pointing to their potentials to serve as a three-dimensionally extended aromatic and/or antiaromatic system and a switching functional motif.
