The photo-oxidation of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) dianion in methanol affords a purple benzoyl bilinone (5b) by addition of singlet oxygen, followed by ring-opening and addition of methanol; similar products (5a) and (5c) can be formed by addition of

The products formed by chemical, or photochemical, oxidation of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin, or its metal complexes, are now shown to have the novel violinoid structure (3) (rather than a biliverdinoid structure) as shown by spectroscopic and (13)C-labelling studies.
