Abstract

(1,3,5)Pyridinophanes having [4.3.2]propellatriene units were synthesized as precursors to macrocyclic polyyne C58H4N2; diazafullerene anion C58N2– was detected in the laser desorption mass spectrum of the pyridinophanes.

Only one isomer, 1,49-diazafullerene, would result from the C58N2 isomer 5, while two isomers, 1,49- and 1,60-diaza derivatives, would be formed from 6, provided that the cyclization of the polyyne chain takes place without bond breaking through a transition state with minimal bond angles of the alkyne chains as depicted in ref. 7.
