Abstract
Porphyrins are macrocyclic compounds with large pi-conjugated network.Most of metal complexes of porphyrins utilize their central nitrogen atoms.Only few example of porphyrin metal pi-complexes have been reported.In order to construct novel metal complexes,meso-aryl substituted porphyrins with various fused moieties were synthesized.In this presentation, synthesis, properties and crystal structures will be discussed.
