Singly N-fused Möbius aromatic [28]hexaphyrins(1.1.1.1.1.1).
A singly N-fused [28]hexaphyrin was isolated and metalated with Pd(OAc)2 to give a conformationally twisted Pd(II) complex that displays distinct Möbius aromatic properties such as a strong ring current and an absorption spectrum characteristic of an aromatic porphyrinoid.
