General Description

Nickel(II) tetramethoxyphenylporphyrin is a chemical compound that consists of a nickel ion at its center, surrounded by a tetramethoxyphenylporphyrin ligand. This complex molecule has a porphyrin structure, with four methoxyphenyl groups attached to it. It is often used as a catalyst in various organic reactions, such as oxidation and reduction reactions, due to its ability to facilitate electron transfer processes. Nickel(II) tetramethoxyphenylporphyrin has also been studied for its potential applications in biomedical research, including as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy to treat cancer. Its unique structure and properties make it a valuable compound for a wide range of chemical and biological applications.

Insertion of Ni(I) into Porphyrins at Room Temperature: Preparation of Ni(II)porphyrins, and Ni(II)chlorins and Observation of Hydroporphyrin Intermediates

Reduced Nickel porphyrins play an important role as enzymatic cofactors in the global carbon cycle (cofactor F430), and as powerful catalysts in solar-to-fuel-processes such as the hydrogen evolution reaction, and the reduction of CO and CO2. The preparation of Ni(II)porphyrins requires harsh conditions, and characterization of the reduced species is intricate. We present a very mild, convenient, and high yielding method of inserting Ni into electron rich, and electron deficient porphyrins which at the same time gives access to to Ni(II) phlorins and Ni(II)chlorins and Ni(II)porphyrins.
