Heterogeneous metal-insertion: a novel reaction with porphyrins

Abstract
Metal complexes of water-soluble and other porphyrins were prepared by a heterogeneous reaction with the metal reactant present in an insoluble form. The oxidation state of the metal is important in the reactions. Metal reactants in the lower oxidation states (0, I, II) react with porphyrins but those in the higher oxidation states (III, IV) do not. Metalloporphyrins of high purity may be conveniently prepared by this method.
