Abstract

Figure Presented One more twist of a Möbius strip: Metalation of Möbius-aromatic hexakis(pentafluorophenyl)[28]hexaphyrin (see picture; Pd red, Cl green, N blue, phenyl rings omitted) provides a highly stable organic radical that is delocalized over a doubly twisted π-conjugation system. The two-photon absorption cross-section is distinctly larger than that of non-aromatic expanded porphyrins.
