2015): Zinc(II) complex of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin with 4-methoxyaniline: Crystal structure and antimicrobial activities of 4-methoxyaniline-5, 10, 15, 20-tetraphenyl-porphyrinatozinc (II), Synthesis and Reactivity in Inorganic, Metal-Organic, and Nano-Metal Chemistry, Abstract 4-methoxyaniline-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinatozinc(II),[(ZnTPP(MOAN)]1 was synthesized (MOAN = 4-methoxyaniline) and characterised by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structure of 1 was determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The structure revealed a triclinic crystal system and the space group P1 with the central metal adopting slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry with 4-methoxyaniline in the axial position. The antimicrobial activities were carried out using well diffusion method and the zone of inhibition of four bacteria and two fungi was measured.
