Abstract: The structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₆₀H₆₀N₄)]·C₇H₈, represents a typical clathrate containing a host molecule of [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)porphyrinato]zinc(II) and a toluene guest molecule. The Zn atom occupies an inversion center and exhibits ideal square-planar coordination, while the porphyrin group remains perfectly flat. The toluene molecule lies on an inversion center and is disordered.
