Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj9pd6350" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Oxidation of acyclic Schiff-base dipyrromethanes cleanly results in dipyrrins, whereas the macrocyclic 'Pacman' analogues either decompose or form new dinuclear copper(<sc>ii</sc>) complexes that are inert to ligand oxidation.</p> </abstract>
