The crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C62H66N4O10-Si-2)(H2O)], h
as been determined at 160 (2) K by utilization of a synchrotron X-ray sourc
e. The molecular units dimerize via hydrogen bonds involving the water mole
cules, and these dimers form pi -stacks via interactions between the hydrop
hobic porphyrin faces.
