How to cite this paper: Tsalu, P.V., et al. (2016) In the meso-substituted case, the external and internal twists C β -C α -C meso -X and N-C α -Cmeso-X, re-P. V. Tsalu et al. 2 spectively are oppositely orientated. Similar effect is observed in meso-unsubstituted of C β -C α -C meso -H and N-C α -C meso -H. However, the external distortions are more significant than internal. Considering the same order, the limit of distortions is [97˚ and 132˚ (−48˚)] for external and [91˚ (−89˚) and 52˚] for internal. In the two cases, the substituents have opposite directions of distortions. The meso-substituted porphyrins have a high limit of twisting than usubstituted one, depending of the weight of substituents. The average of the bond angular deformations is 168˚, almost planar. However, the limit of angular deformation is 94˚.
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.
