Dithiadiazuliporphyrin: facile generation of carbaporphyrinoid cation radical and dication

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Sep 28;127(38):13108-9. doi: 10.1021/ja053723x.

Abstract

Dithiadiazuliporphyrin is a nonaromatic porphyrinoid, readily and reversibly oxidizable to its cation radical and to the unprecedented aromatic carbaporphyrinoid dication, which can be viewed as a 21,23-dicarba-22,24-dithiaporphyrin with two fused tropylium rings.
