Abstract
The title compound, [Ni(C40H28N4O)], was obtained from a Grignard reaction of the respective formylporphyrin to yield {5-[hydroxy(phenyl)methyl]-10,20-diphenylporphyrinato}nickel(II), followed by crystallization from methylene chloride/methanol. The molecule exhibits a ruffled macrocycle with an average deviation of the 24 macrocycle atoms from their least-squares plane (Δ24) of 0.26 Å and an average Ni—N bond length of 1.931 (2) Å. In line with the asymmetrical substituent pattern, the degree of distortion is slightly larger at point of attachment of the methoxy(phenyl)methyl residue than at the unsubstituted meso position. The methoxy group attached to the chiral C atom is disordered in a 0.534 (4):0.466 (4) ratio.
