Improved generation of porphyrin radicals via conproportionation
Abstract
meso-Tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin 1 undergoes Conproportionation with the two-electron-oxidised compound 2 to yield high concentrations of porphyrin radicals in acidified and basified 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCE).
