Abstract
The: synthesis and characterization of two expanded porphyrins, namely 18,2 3-diphenyl-2,3,6,7,10,11-hexamethyl-[26]hexaphyrin(1.1.1.1.0.0) and 18-mesi tyl-2,3,6,7,10,11-hexamethyl-[22]pentaphyrin(l,1.1.0.0) is described. Their common feature is a terpyrrolic subunit that is connected to a pyrrane bui lding block. Both compounds display aromaticity and are stable in their res pective protonated and free-base forms.
