Stable π Radical from a Contracted Doubly N-Confused Hexaphyrin by Double Palladium Metalation
Abstract
A contracted doubly N-confused dioxohexaphyrin derivative served as a dinucleating metal ligand for unsymmetrical coordination. The complexation of two palladium(II) cations led to the formation of π-radical species that were persistent in atmospheric air in the presence of moisture. Effective delocalization of an unpaired electron over the hexaphyrin backbone could contribute to the distinct chemical stability.
Keywords: N-confusion; expanded porphyrins; palladium; stable radicals; two-photon absorption.
