“…[12,13] Themost recent examples of the compounds fulfilling the structural criteria of expanded carbaporphyrinoids,i nclude biphenylene-incorporated hexaphyrin [14] and octaphyrins,w hich demonstrate interesting conformational variety, [14,15] or the isosmaragdyrin incorporating 2,6-di-mphenylpirydine,p rone to bind transition metals with two different coordination modes. [16] As ignificant number of expanded carbaporphyrinoids were created with the use of phenanthrene-based building blocks, [17][18][19][20] for example,3 2heterophenanthrisapphyrins, [21] helicenophyrins, [22] and diphenanthrioctaphyrin. [23] Many of the expanded carbaporphyrinoids share structural features of an archetypical hexaphyrin [24,25] framework.…”
