with 200 ml of hot water. After drying, the precipitate
was dissolved in chloroform and chromatographed on

meso-trans-Diaryldihexadecyltetrabenzopor-
phyrins XII XIV (general procedure). A 0.1-g por-
tion of IX XI was dissolved in 20 ml of chloroform,
10 ml of concentrated HCl was added, and the mix-
