Abstract
A series of meso-tetrakis-(ERE donor) zinc(II) porphyrins nZn (ERE donor=4-R-3,5-bis[(E)-methyl]phenyl; 1Zn: E=NMe2, R=Br; 2Zn: E=NMe2, R=H; 3Zn: E=OMe, R=Br; 4Zn: E=OMe, R=H) have been synthesized in excellent yields. As a result of the combination of a Lewis acidic site and eight Lewis basic sites within one molecule, monomeric molecules of
