Abstract

Aliphatic derivatives of hydrazinophyrin, a new type of tetrapyrrolic macrocycle prepared by the condensation of 2,5-diformylpyrroles with hydrazine, exhibit liquid crystalline properties as judged from polarising optical microscopy; these hydrazinophyrins appear to be the first mesogens derived from an expanded porphyrin core.
