Iron and copper complexes of tetraphenyl-m-benziporphyrin (TPmBPH)H have been prepared and structurally characterized. Theiron system, (TPmBPH)FeIIBr, contains a high-spin Fe(II) center.In the solid state the complex forms dimeric units linked by weakCH···Br hydrogen bonds. The Cu complex contains a tetramericcopper cluster with a Cu2Cl42- unit bridging two [(TPmBPCl)CuII]+fragments. The formation of (TPmBPCl)H represents an exampleof copper-catalyzed chlorination on the internal carbon atom of(TPmBPH)H.
