title: Silver(III) carbaporphyrins: the first organometallic complexes of true carbaporphyrins.
abstract: Reaction of carbaporphyrins 1 with silver(I) acetate in methanol-CH(2)Cl(2) gave excellent yields of the related silver(III) complexes 6. These nonpolar organometallic compounds retain fully aromatic properties as judged by UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy and were further characterized by X-ray crystallography and cyclic voltammetry.
