Abstract:
The title compound, C52H66N6O4·2CH3OH, is a 5,15-diaryloctaalkylporphyrinogen. The molecule is centrosymmetric, with the pyrrole rings adopting a 1,2-alternate arrangement. The methanol molecules are included in the tetrapyrrole cavity through hydrogen bonding and O-H interactions. The molecules form chains in the crystal structure via phenyl C-H-pyrrole stacking.
