title: meso-Aryl triphyrin(2.1.1).
abstract: Synthesis, spectral, and single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of meso-aryl triphyrin(2.1.1) featuring three pyrrole rings and four meso-aryl rings are described. The title compound represents the first example of a ring-contractedmeso-aryl β-unsubstituted free-base triphyrin containing only pyrrole rings reported to date and generates 2-D supramolecular assembly in the solid state.
