Abstract

5,10,15,20-Tetraphenylporphyrin reacted with copper powder in boiling xylene on exposure to air (but not in an inert atmosphere) to give bright red copper complex which differed in properties from the initial porphyrin and its complexes with other metals. The copper complex was stable to oxidation with Cu2+ ions (during chromatography), and it readily underwent demetalation by the action of LiAlH4 in tetrahydrofuran.
