The most anti-aromatic 16π porphyrin, an octaethylporphyrin (OEP) zinc(II) complex with no substituents at the meso-positions was generated as a highly unstable species from the reaction of the corresponding 18π porphyrin using strong oxidants such as AgSbF 6/ I 2 or SbF 5. The porphyrin showed a significant blue-shift unique to 16π porphyrins in its UV-vis spectrum. 1 H NMR measurements revealed an evident high-field shift of the meso-protons of the porphyrin ring, thereby establishing that the novel 16π porphyrin has the strongest anti-aromaticity reported so far.
