Abstract

The 13C n.m.r. spectra of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), the zinc(II), cadmium(II), bis[mercury(II) acetate], and various thallium(III) derivatives, and some related analogues are reported and assigned. In meso-tetra-(o-tolyl)-porphyrin and meso-tetra-(1-naphthyl)porphyrin only one species was observed. The introduction of zinc(II), cadmium(II), or bis[mercury(II) acetate] into the TPP nucleus does not significantly change the 13C shifts, but the thallium(II) derivative shows both extensive TI–13C couplings and non-equivalence of o-phenyl carbon atoms, the latter being due to the exoplanar position of the thallium atom. Specific TI–13C couplings to the o-phenyl carbon atoms are also observed.
