Abstract: The title molecule, C₆₄H₈₆N₄, possesses a crystallographically imposed centre of symmetry with a rectangular distortion of the porphyrin core. In the crystal structure, molecules form laddered assemblies via partial stacking of porphyrins. The assemblies are further formed into layers separated by tert-butyl groups.
