Diaqua­(5,10,15,20-tetra­phenyl­porphyrinato-κ4N)magnesium–18-crown-6 (1/1)

In the title compound, [Mg(C44H28N4)(H2O)2]·C12H24O6, the MgII cation lies on an inversion center and is octahedrally coordinated by the four N atoms of the deprotonated tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) ligand and by two water molecules. The asymmetric unit contains one half of the [Mg(TPP)(H2O)2] complex and one half of an 18-crown-6 molecule. The average equatorial magnesium–pyrrole N atom distance (Mg—Np) is 2.071 (1) Å and the axial Mg—O(H2O) bond length is 2.213 (1) Å. The crystal packing is stabilized by two O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between coordinating water molecules and adjacent 18-crown-6 molecules, and exhibits a one-dimensional supramolecular structure along the a axis. The supramolecular architecture is futher stabilized by weak C—H⋯π interactions. The 18-crown-6 molecule is disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.8:0.2.

Aqua­(4-cyano­pyridine-κN4)(5,10,15,20-tetra­phenyl­porphyrinato-κ4N)magnesium

In the title complex, [Mg(C44H28N4)(C6H4N2)(H2O)], the Mg2+ cation is octahedrally coordinated and lies on an inversion center with the axially located 4-cyanopyridine and aqua ligands exhibiting 50% substitutional disorder. The cyano-bound 4-cyanopyridine molecule also is disordered across the inversion centre. The four N atoms of the pyrrole rings of the dianionic 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin ligand occupy the equatorial sites of the octahedron [Mg—N = 2.0552 (10) and 2.0678 (11) Å] and the axial Mg—(N,O) bond length is 2.3798 (12) Å. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions.

Di­aqua­[5,10,15,20-tetra­kis­(4-chloro­phen­yl)porphyrinato-κ4N]iron(III) tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate–4-hy­droxy-3-meth­oxy­benzaldehyde–water (1/1/2)

In the title compound, [Fe(C44H24Cl4N4)(H2O)2](SO3CF3)·C8H8O3·2H2O, the FeIII cation is chelated by the four N atoms of the deprotonated tetrakis(4-chlorotetraphenyl)porphyrin (TClPP) and further coordinated by two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal, the cations, anions, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and water molecules of crystallization are linked by classical O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. The crystal packing is further stabilized by weak C—H⋯π interactions involving pyrrole and benzene rings. π–π stacking between parallel benzene rings of adjacent 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde molecules is also observed, the centroid–centroid distance being 3.8003 (13) Å. The three F atoms of the anion are disordered over two sets of sites, with a refined occupancy ratio 0.527 (12):0.473 (12). The O atom of one water molecule of crystallization is also disordered over two positions in an occupancy ratio of 0.68 (5):0.32 (5).

The molecular structure of the piperazine[5,10,15,20-(tetraphenylbenzoate)porphyrinato-κ4 N]zinc(II) complex is composed of parallel pairs of layers with an interlayer distance of 4.100 Å while the distance between two pairs of layers is 4.047 Å.
