M. Vinodu and I. Goldberg

Abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)(C₂H₆OS)]·0.79C₂H₆OS·0.21CHCl₃, crystallizes as a sulfoxide-chloroform true clathrate. The main residue, (dimethyl sulfoxide)(tetraphenylporphyrinato)zinc(II), is a five-coordinate zinc-porphyrin complex, with dimethyl sulfoxide as an axial ligand. The crystal structure is characterized by a typical layered organization of the porphyrin species, with the solvent guest molecules intercalated between the layers.
