Cu(II) crown-tetraphenylporphyrinate: Molecular structure and evaluation of the formation of multinuclear complexes with s-metals

A novel neutral complex of a crown-fused tetraphenylporphyrin was obtained and its structure determined by X-ray analysis. Quantum chemical calculations were performed to establish the possibility of exploiting its crown units for the formation of multinuclear complexes with cations of alkaline and alkaline earth metals. © ISUCT Publishing.
