- Abstract
BIII subporphyrins are the legitimate ring‐contracted porphyrins consisting of three pyrroles and three meso‐carbons and their chemistry has been extensively developed since the first synthesis in 2006. However, subporphyrin free bases have never been synthesized, despite tremendous attempts to remove the BIII ion. Here we report that Suzuki–Miyaura coupling between α,α′‐diborylated tripyrrane 1 and tetrabromide 5 gave subporphyrin free bases 6, 6 A, and free base dimer 7 in 6 %, 4 %, and 2 % yields as the first examples. Subporphyrin free bases exhibit curved bowl‐like structures and distinct 14π‐aromaticity. Steady‐state and time‐resolved spectroscopy revealed that the excited‐state behaviors of the subporphyrin free bases are comparable with those of the corresponding BIII subporphyrins. Rotational relaxation processes in the excited states have been revealed, which enhance the electronic interactions with the meso‐aryl substituents and between the two subporphyrins.
