The log K values of zinc tetraphenylporphine (Zn3TPhP) complexes with pyridine, quinoline, and acridine N-oxides and with their nonoxidized analogs, as well as the positions of absorption maxima of the complexes with respect to Zn3TPhP linearly depend on the pK BH + of the ligands in water (methanol, acetonitrile, nitromethane, and acetone) and on Hammett s constants in the absence of steric effects.
