abstract
In recent years, much attention has been devoted to synthesizing and preparing novel expanded porphyrin architectures. Here we report the selective substitution of the p-fluorine atoms of meso-hexakis(pentafluorophenyl)N-confused[26]hexaphyrin with six 4-mercaptopyridine moieties. The preparation methods here described opening an avenue towards the modification and application of these macrocycles in a wide array of applications such as catalysis, sensing, and photonic applications.
