The concept of Möbius aromaticity, first proposed by Heilbronner in 1964, predicts the aromatic characters for [4nπ] annulenes with singly twisted so-called Möbius topology.[1] Importantly, this concept complements the established Hückel aromaticity that is based on normal planar πelectronic network,[1, 2] and therefore stimulates both theoretical and experimental studies. Among these studies, the first Möbius aromatic [16] annulene was reported by Herges and co-workers in 2003,[3] and was followed by an interesting example of a di-p-benzi-hexaphyrin that exhibited a temperature dependent structural change between Hückel and Möbius conformations.[4] In the last two years, Möbius aromatic systems have been efficiently prepared starting from meso-aryl-substituted expanded porphyrins through metal coordination,[5a, b] temperature control,[5c, d] protonation,[5e, f] and intramolecular fusion reactions.[5g, h] Macrocycles that have a singly twisted Möbius topology are intrinsically chiral, and can be either P-twist or M-twist, as shown in Figure 1. Control of the chirality of Möbius aromatic expanded porphyrins is important to understand their magnetic properties and to apply these systems to chirality sensing and asymmetric catalysts. Although the enatiomeric separation of Möbius aromatic annulenes has been accomplished by Herges and co-workers, their absolute configurations have not been determined.[3b] In addition, only limited examples of the enantiomeric separations of twisted expanded porphyrins have been reported to date.[6]We envisioned the enantiomeric separation of Group 10 metal complexes of [28] hexaphyrin (1.1. 1.1. 1.1) on the basis that hexaphyrins are considered to be rather robust, as indicated by their almost temperature-independent 1H NMR spectra. Herein, we report the enantiomeric separation of these complexes by using preparative HPLC on a chiral stationary phase, as well as the asymmetric synthesis of the palladium (II) complex.
