    Abstract

    Twisted figure-of-eight structures are found for the perfluorinated meso-aryl-substituted expanded porphyrins synthesized from 3,4-difluoropyrrole and pentafluorobenzaldehyde under modified Rothemund-Lindsey conditions. The crystal structure of the [26]hexaphyrin (see picture) consists of two almost planar tripyrrolic subunits which are tilted by approximately 60° in which a distinct alternation in the bond lengths of the π-electronic system is evident.
