Abstract
Single crystals of the title zinc porphyrinato complex, [Zn(C44H8F20N4)]·2C6H6, were obtained by the solvent evaporation method. The molecular complex exhibits point group symmetry with the central ZnII atom located on an inversion centre. The porphyrinato core is approximately planar, and the cation has no other ligating atoms than the four porphyrinato N atoms. π-π inter-actions between benzene solvent mol-ecules and [Zn(TFPP)] units lead to multilayer packing structures. In addition, inter-molecular C-H⋯F hydrogen bonding is observed between [Zn(TFPP)] mol-ecules.
