Dalton communications. Solvent-dependent forms of lithiated 5,5,10,10,15,15,20,20-octaethylporphyrinogen in solution and in the solid state and reaction with tetrahydrofuran

Abstract
The fully lithiated form of 5,5,10,10,15,15,20,20-octaethylporphyrinogen (H4L) synthesized in tetrahydrofuran (thf) has been structurally characterized in its solvated form Li4L·3thf, while its unsolvated form from n-hexane behaves as a ‘superbase’ capable of decomposing thf to the lithium enolate identified in the aggregate Li6L(OCHCH2)2·4thf.
