“…Indium(III) chloride 2,7,12,17-tetramethyl-3,8,13,18-tetraethylporphyrin (Chloroindium(III) complex of Etioporphyrin-I, InCl-EtioP-I) was obtained by complexation of etioporphyrin-I with indium(III) chloride, in the same way as reported in Refs. [6,43] Etioporphyrin-I (0.3 g, 0.627 mmol) was refluxed with InCl 3 (0.3 g, 1.36 mmol) in 30 mL DMF during 3 h. After cooling the solution was poured into water, and then NH 4 Cl was added and stirred thoroughly for better coagulation. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with water and dried.…”
