17. Hemiporphycene 8 affords stable complexes with numerous metals. Hemiporphycene-metal complexes with axial ligands have characteristic metal-centered chirality. Attempts to resolve the enantiomeric forms of the recently obtained complexes σ-phenyl-octaethylhemiporphycenatocobalt(III) and σ-methyl-octaethylhemiporphycenatorhodium (III) are in progress (collaboration between the groups of E. V. and J. L. S.).

28. Additional support for the structure of 7 is provided by the similarity of its NMR spectrum to that of the dibenzyl ester 12, for which an X-ray crystal structure is available (as the rac diastereomer). (Equation Presented)
29. An alternative route to 7 that avoids the tetrapyrrolic α,ω-dialdehyde 6 could involve an initial oxidative coupling of two molecules of 4 at the meso position with concomitant formation of a tetrapyrrylethane, followed by condensation with 5 to give 7. Among the evidence militating against this route is the observation that in the first step a labile product can be detected by thin layer chromatography that has a color comparable to that of 7, and from which 7 is formed only after treatment with ammonia.
