PREPARATION AND REACTIVITY OF METAL-CONTAINING MONOMERS .44. SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF VINYLPORPHYRINS AND THEIR METAL-COMPLEXES

Vinylporphyrins containing one vinyl group at the pyrrole or benzene r ing and their complexes with Cu2+ and Zn2+ have been obtained by the W ittig reaction. Compounds obtained were characterized by physicochemic al methods. X-ray diffraction analysis of 5-(4-vinylphenyl)-10,15,20-t riphenylporphyrin has been carried out. It is likely that the inclusio n of the vinyl group is accompanied by weak electron effects on the ma crocycle. No nonequivalence of N-H bonds is observed in initial macroc ycles.
