perimeter of I a. Since the methoxy groups require less space, one methoxy group on each pyrrole ring is almost in the porphyrin plane (i.e. its C-0 bond and the porphyrin are close to coplanar). The deviation of the CH, carbon atoms of these "planar" methoxy groups from the best plane of the porphyrin ring is only 0.415(01) and 2.33(04) A for 1 a, and
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
