Abstract

Aromaticity reversal in the lowest triplet state, or Baird's rule, has been postulated for the past few decades. Despite numerous theoretical works on aromaticity reversal, experimental study is still at a rudimentary stage. Herein, we investigate the aromaticity reversal in the lowest excited triplet state using a comparable set of [26]- and [28]hexaphyrins by femtosecond time-resolved infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Compared to the relatively simple IR spectra of [26]bis(rhodium) hexaphyrin (R26H), those of [28]bis(rhodium) hexaphyrin (R28H) show complex IR spectra the region for the stretching modes of conjugated rings. Whereas time-resolved IR spectra of R26H in the excited triplet state are dominated by excited state IR absorption peaks, while those of R28H largely show ground state IR bleaching peaks, reflecting the aromaticity reversal in the lowest triplet state. These contrasting IR spectral features serve as new experimental aromaticity indices for Baird's rule.
