Abstract: Significance A new way to achieve complexes that exhibit Möbius aromaticity is described. Conjugated oligopyrrolic macrocycles (also known as expanded porphyrins) were locked into a twisted Möbius strip conformation using group 10 metals. Experimental and numerical studies reveal compounds 3 , 5 , and 7 - 9 as conformationally locked Möbius aromatic molecules.
