The topology of π-electronic conjugation is an important current topic in structural organic chemistry.[1] This area has been boosted by the seminal paper by Herges et al. on the synthesis of a tetrabenzo [16] annulene as the first stable Möbius aromatic molecule.[2] The concept of Möbius aromaticity was first suggested by Heilbronner in 1964,[3] but its realization has been quite difficult owing to the structural requirements of implementing a smooth conjugated π network and a twisted conformation within a single molecule.[4] Recently, expanded porphyrins, which are pyrrolic conjugated macrocycles, have emerged as a new promising class of molecules for creation of Möbius aromatic systems. Latos-Grazyn ski et al. reported a di-p-benzo [28] hexaphyrin that has a twisted Möbius conformation at low temperature.[5] We found that stable Möbius aromatic molecules were formed from meso-aryl expanded porphyrins by metal coordination,[6a, b] temperature control,[6c, d] and protonation.[6e] Recently an additional Möbius aromatic system was found upon heating of meso-hexakis (pentafluorophenyl)-substituted [26] hexaphyrin in acetic acid.[6f] Despite these efforts, Möbius aromatic molecules are still rare, and a new synthetic strategy to produce Möbius aromatic molecule is highly desirable.
