Acenaphthoporphyrins, a new group of porphyrins with strongly red shif
ted electronic absorption spectra, have been prepared by the acid cata
lysed condensation of a pyrrole-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde with acenaphthotr
ipyrranes: similarly, c-annelated pyrroledialdehydes afforded the rela
ted opp-diacenaphthoporphyrins and a mixed porphyrin system with fused
phenanthrene and acenaphthylene rings. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Sc
