title: Synthesis and spectroscopic behaviour of metal complexes of meso-alkylidenyl carbaporphyrinoids and their expanded analogues.
abstract: Treatment of meso-malonylidene-(m-benzi)porphyrin and meso-malonylidene-(m-benzi)pentaphyrin with Pd(ii), Au(iii), Ni(ii) and Ag(i) afforded the corresponding metal complexes. The synthesized metal complexes were characterized by spectroscopy including single crystal X-ray, NMR and mass spectrometry. Most metal complexes were stable in solution. The metal complexes showed strong absorption in the near IR region.
