Thermal Fusion Reactions of meso-(3-Thienyl) Groups in [26]Hexaphyrins to Produce Möbius Aromatic Molecules

Fuse to twist: Simple thermal reactions of meso‐(3‐thienyl) groups in Hückel‐aromatic [26]hexaphyrins (see picture, left; N blue, S yellow, F green) provide 3‐thienyl‐fused [28]hexaphyrins (right) that have Möbius aromatic character, as indicated by a number of spectroscopic methods....
