Abstract

We demonstrate solvent-free metallation of porphyrins by ball milling with hydrated metal acetate salts for a few minutes with no added solvent; the products are then simply heated to remove the volatile acetic acid and water by-products. Normal methods for metallating porphyrins require solvents and heating to reflux, sometimes for long periods.
