The action of hydrogen peroxide in pyridine on a variety of metal complexes (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) of octaethylporphyrin under specified conditions has been shown to give metal octaethyloxophlorin derivatives in those cases where the complexed metal ion has a readily available higher oxidation level. Manganese(ti1) octaethyloxo-
