title: The structure of a thiadiazole-containing expanded heteroazaporphyrinoid determined by gas electron diffraction and density functional theory calculations.
abstract: The molecular structure of a macrocycle with a 24-membered ring, a thiadiazole-containing expanded heteroazaporphyrinoid, has been, for the first time, directly characterised by a synchronous gas electron diffraction and mass spectrometric experiment and DFT calculations; the molecule has the equilibrium structure of C(3h) symmetry with a planar macrocycle.
