Study on a green synthesis of μ-oxo-bis[tetraarylphenylporphyrinatoiron]

Abstract

A novel method for the synthesis of μ-oxo-bis[tetraarylporphyrinatoiron] ([TRPPFe]₂O) based on the reaction between tetraarylporphyrinironchloride (TRPPFeCl) and H₂O in toluene was investigated in this paper. Three kinds of [TRPPFe]₂O were synthesized by this novel synthetic method, and their structures were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
