1,3-Bis(2-pyrryl)benzene was used to prepare dibenziamethyrin, in which two pyrrole units of [24]amethyrin(1.0.0.1.0.0) are replaced by benzene. 1,4-Bis(2-pyrryl)benzene, 2,5-bis(2-pyrryl)thiophene, and 4,4-bis(2-pyrryl)biphenyl were also used in place of 2,2-bipyrrole to give expanded analogues of [24]rosarin(1.0.1.0.1.0) and [32]octaphyrin(1.0.1.0.1.0.1.0). These large porphyrinoids can incorporate multiple metal units of Rh(CO)(2) and Pd(-allyl) with considerable deviation of the metal atoms from the dipyrrin planes, evidenced by X-ray crystallography. The coordinated Rh(CO)(2) group shuttled between both sides of the macrocycle; the rate was dependent on the spacer, ring size, and number of metal atoms. Variable temperature (HNMR)-H-1 spectroscopy showed that the tris-rhodium complexes of the expanded rosarins with 1,4-phenylene or 2,5-thienylene spacers adopt a C-3v-symmetric form and a C-s-symmetric form as a result of the Rh(CO)(2) groups hopping through the macrocycle cavity. The C-3v-symmetric form has a greater dipole moment and, therefore, is favored in solvents of greater polarity. The Rh(CO)(2) groups in the tris-rhodium complex of the expanded rosarin with 4,4-biphenylene spacers hop so fast that an averaged spectral pattern (D-3h) was seen in the (HNMR)-H-1 spectrum, even at -60 degrees C. Expanded octaphyrins with 1,4-phenylene and 2,5-thienylene spacers bind four Rh(CO)(2) groups outside the macrocycle cavity to form a D-2d-symmetric saddle-shaped structure that did not show any dynamic behavior on the NMR timescale, even at 80 degrees C. This tetranuclear complex is one of the largest porphyrinoid metal complexes characterized by X-ray crystallography to date.
