Abstract
The principal kinetic product in the Rothemund template synthesis of sterically hindered tetra-arylporphyrins is not the metalloporphyrin complex but the bis(dipyrromethene) complex; the latter has been isolated from a typical porphyrin preparation, that of tetrakis(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin, and characterized by u.v.–visible, i.r., and n.m.r. spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography.
