Core-modified octaphyrins: Syntheses and anion-binding properties

摘要

In this paper,a brief review of the syntheses,characterization and anion-binding properties of core-modified octaphyrins is presented.It has been shown that the core-modified octaphyrins exhibit aromaticity both in solution and in solid state,confirming the validity of the (4n + 2) Huckel rule for larger pi-electron systems.Solid-state binding characteristics of TFA anions of two core-modified octaphyrins are also described.
