Abstract
A new crystalline material of a magnesium (II)–porphyrin complex was prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecular structure is made by (5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato-κ4N)bis(hexamethylenetetramine) magnesium dichloromethane disolvate. The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbcn, with a = 19.2932 (6) Å, b = 10.4878 (4) Å, c = 26.0025 (14) Å, V = 5261.4 (4) Å3 and Z = 4. The supramolecular architecture includes weak C__H⋯N hydrogen bond. This magnesium-porphyrin species was also characterized by UV–visible, IR and fluorescence spectroscopy and a cyclic voltammetry investigation was also carried out on this species.
