Crystal structure of 5-tert-butyl-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin

In the title free base porphyrin, C42H34N4, the neighbouring N...N distances in the center of the ring vary from 2.818 (8) to 2.998 (8) Å and the phenyl rings are tilted from the 24-atom mean plane at angles varying between 62.42 (2)–71.63 (2)°. The NH groups are involved in intramolecular bifurcate...

description In the title free base porphyrin, C42H34N4, the neighbouring N...N distances in the center of the ring vary from 2.818 (8) to 2.998 (8) Å and the phenyl rings are tilted from the 24-atom mean plane at angles varying between 62.42 (2)–71.63 (2)°. The NH groups are involved in intramolecular bifurcated N—H...(N,N) hydrogen bonds. The Ca—Cm—Ca angles vary slightly for the phenyl rings, between 124.19 (18)–126.17 (18)°. The largest deviation from the mean plane of the 24-atom macrocycle is associated with the meso carbon at the substituted tert-butyl position, which is displaced from the mean plane by 0.44 (2) Å. The free base porphyrin is characterized by a significant degree of ruffled (B1u) distortion with contributions from domed (A2u) and wave [Eg(y) and Eg(x)] modes. In the crystal, molecules are linked by a number of weak C—H...π interactions, forming a three-dimensional framework. The structure was refined as a two-component inversion twin.
