title: Trans doubly N-confused porphyrins: Cu(III) complexation and formation of rodlike hydrogen-bonding networks.
abstract: A trans type of doubly N-confused isomer of NCP (trans-N2CP) was synthesized via N-confused fused porphyrin (NcFP). The aromatic feature of trans-N2CP due to 18pi electronic system is contrasted to the weak aromaticity of cis-derivative. The solid-state structure of trans-N2CP exhibits pi-stacking column, while the Cu(III) complex shows 1-D rodlike hydrogen bonding chain comparable with the zigzag hydrogen-bonding chain of cis-derivatives.
