Abstract
We found that thionyl chloride can chlorinate porphyrin complexes with tran sient metals (Pd, Ni, or Cu) at the free beta- and meso-positions of the po rphyrin macrocycle. A more prolonged or rigorous treatment also causes the chlorination of side alkyl substituents, mainly, methyl groups.
