(Chemical Equation Presented) Various nitro-substituted aryl and heteroaryl iodides undergo an iodine-magnesium exchange reaction when treated with PhMgCl leading to nitro-containing magnesium organometallics. These Grignard reagents display an excellent stability at temperatures below -40°C and do not undergo electron-transfer reactions. They react as expected with various electrophiles.

Site specifically functionalized dehydrobenzo[18]annulenes (DBAs) with previously inaccessible topologies (C(2v) and C(s) symmetry) were prepared by utilizing an in situ protiodesilylation/alkynylation reaction. By application of a stepwise synthetic route, donor and/or acceptor functional groups were introduced to the annulenic core in a designed manner. The electronic absorption spectra of the DBAs revealed moderate to dramatic changes in the electronic structure of the [18]annulene core when subtle changes were made in substitution patterns and/or functional groups. Macrocycles containing C(2v) symmetry exhibited progressive and predictable bathochromic shifts ranging from 20 to 80 nm along with increasing intramolecular excited state change transfer (CT) behavior. Asymmetric (C(s)) molecules presented more interesting absorption behavior, such as accentuation of bands in the visible region. X-ray crystal structures of [18]DBAs 20, 22, 23, and 25 showed normal bond lengths and bond angles within the planar annulenic core. A solid-state thermal study indicated ordered polymerization of the DBAs between 164 and 240 °C.
