Abstract
The title compound, (meso-5,10,15,20-tetra-p-tolylporphyrinato-N,N',N '',Ntriple prime)zinc(II), [Zn(C48H36N4)], displays a high tendency to form complexes and clathrates with other components from various envi ronments, and is a useful building black for the construction of heter omolecular solids. Modes of its intermolecular assembly in the pure co mpound and in its clathrate with m-chlorotoluene, [Zn(C48H36N4)].C7H7C l, have been characterized by X-ray crystal-structure analysis. The cl athrate appears to be stabilized by pi-pi ir stacking and cooperative C-H ...pi interactions between the tolyl substituents and contains lar ge interporphyrin channels extending throughout the crystal.
