Four new porphyrinoid diimines 3, 4, 5 and 6 are synthesized from alkylated 1,9-bis(5-formylpyrrol-2-yl)dipyrrins 1 and diaminobenzidine 2a, hydrazine (2b), N,N′-diaminoguanidine (2c) and 3,4-diaminopyridine (2d). Macrocycles 4 and 5 resist oxidation with DDQ (2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone) to 18π or 22π aromatic systems, while 3 and 6 are readily obtained as aromatic macrocycles. From the latter, 6 exhibits deshielded protons outside and shielded NH protons inside due to 22π aromaticity.
