Abstract: | Zinc complexes of unsymmetrical tetraarenoporphines and their oxidized forms were synthesized by condensation of mixtures of phthalic and naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid imides with sodium acetate or malonic acid in the presence of zinc acetate. Metal-free compounds were obtained by treatment of benzene solutions of the zinc complexes with gaseous hydrogen chloride. The electronic, PMR, x-ray electron, IR, and mass spectra of the synthesized compounds are discussed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1351–1357, October, 1988. |
