Abstract
In the title complex, [Zn(C48H36N4)]·CH2Cl2, the ZnII atom lies on an inversion center and the dichloromethane solvent molecule is disordered around an inversion center. The tolyl substituents are twisted compared to the central aromatic ring system of the porphyrin, similar to what is seen in previously published structures of this molecule [Dastidar & Goldberg (1996 ▶). Acta Cryst. C52, 1976–1980]. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the tolyl rings and the central ring are 66.98 (6) and 60.40 (6)°.

R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger
