title: 9,10,19,20-Tetraarylporphycenes.
abstract: meso-Tetraarylporphycenes, structural isomers of meso-tetraarylporphyrins, were synthesized by the acid-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction for the first time which is an alternative synthetic methodology to the traditional McMurry coupling reaction. The structure of the macrocycle and Ni(II) complex are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses where both form 1-D supramolecular assembly.
