Abstract
The structure of the title compound, C36H50N4, is the first example of a te tra-meso-substituted free-base bacteriochlorin (2,3,12, 13-tetrahydroporphy rin). While general structural characteristics are similar to other hydropo rphyrins, the present structure presents one of the few examples of a hydro porphyrin with a planar macrocycle conformation.
