title: Ni(II) tetrahydronorcorroles: antiaromatic porphyrinoids with saturated pyrrole units.
abstract: While hydrogenated porphyrins are abundant in natural and synthetic compounds, antiaromatic hydrogenated porphyrinoids have not been synthesized to date. Here, we report bacteriochlorin-like Ni(II) tetrahydronorcorrole complexes as the first examples of antiaromatic porphyrinoids that contain saturated pyrrole units.
