“…Considerable broadening of the Soret band should also be noted, which may be due to association of compound VIII in weakly polar solvents. Tetrabenzoporphyrinatozinc(II) (I) was synthesized according to the procedure described in [10], and meso-tetramethyltetrabenzoporphyrinatozinc(II) (VII) was prepared as reported in [11]. 1.1 3,6 .1 8,11 ]tricosa-1,3,5,7,9,11,13,-15,17,19-decaene and 4,5:9,10:14,15:19,20-tetrabenzo-2,7,12,17-tetramethyl-21,22,23-triazatetracyclo[16.2.1.1 3,6 .1 8,11 ]tricosa-1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19decaene zinc complexes II and VIII (general procedure).…”
