The compound was prepared via metallation of the respective free base porphyrin and crystallized via liquid diffusion of methanol into a solution of the porphyrin in methylene chloride. Crystals were handled as described by Hope (1994).
Hydrogen atoms were located in difference maps and refined using a standard riding model.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In continuation of studies on the conformational flexibility of porphyrins (Senge, 2006) the structure of the title compound was determined as an example for a meso substituted porphyrin with both meso alkyl and meso aryl subsitutents (Senge et al., 2010) and in relation to current synthetic studies on anthracenyl porphyrins (Volz & Schäffer, 1985; Davis et al., 2008; Sooambar et al., 2009).
The structure of (I), is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule exhibits a completely planar macrocycle with an average deviation of the 24 macrocycle atoms from their least-squares-plane (Δ24) of 0.01 Å and an average Ni—N bond length of 1.960 (2) Å. All geometrical parameters are typical for a planar nickel(II) porphyrin (Senge et al., 2000). No individual macrocycle atom was displaced more then 0.015 Å from the mean plane. Likewise, differences in bond angles and lenghts between the meso aryl and meso alkyl quadrants are minimal. The anthracenyl residues are almost orthogonal to the plane of the four nitrogen atoms (96.2°) similarly to the situation found in related zinc(II) systems with meso aryl residues (Sooambar et al., 2009). In the crystal packing there are no close contacts (not shown). The anthracene residues prevent π-stacking of the porphyrins and the hexyl side chains are oriented between neighboring anthracenyl substituents and hinder π-stacking as well.
The structure presents a rare example for a planar nickel(II) porphyrin. Typically, meso substituted nickel(II) porphyrins with only meso aryl residues (Fleischer et al., 1964; Hoard, 1973; Lee & Scheidt, 1987) and those with meso alkyl residues (Senge et al., 1999; Runge et al., 1999) exhibit a ruffled conformation. Only (5,10,15,20-tetramethylporphyrinato)nickel(II) exbihits an almost planar conformation as well (Gallucci et al., 1982).
