Bis-rhodium hexaphyrins: metalation of [28]hexaphyrin and a smooth Hückel aromatic-antiaromatic interconversion.
Metalation of [28]hexaphyrin(1.1.1.1.1.1) with [RhCl(CO)(2)](2) resulted in the formation of an antiaromatic bis-Rh(i) complex, which can be oxidized to an aromatic bis-Rh(i) complex with retention of its rectangular structure.
