A new mixed hexaphyrin, pyrihexaphyrin (0.1.0.0.1.0) (<b>1</b>), was prepared <i>via</i> an acid catalyzed cyclization between 5,5'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde) (<b>2</b>) and terpyrrole (<b>3</b>). This expanded porphyrin undergoes a ring contraction upon metallation with uranyl silylamide [UO<sub>2</sub>[N(SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub>] under anaerobic conditions followed by purification over basic aluminum oxide exposed to air. The uranyl-contracted pyrihexaphyr ...[more]
