Abstract

Single crystals of the title zinc porphyrinato complex, [Zn(C₄₄H₈F₂₀N₄)]·2C₆H₆, were obtained by the solvent evaporation method. The molecular complex exhibits point group symmetry with the central Zn^II atom located on an inversion centre. The porphyrinato core is approximately planar, and the cation has no other ligating atoms than the four porphyrinato N atoms. π-π inter-actions between benzene solvent mol-ecules and [Zn(TFPP)] units lead to multilayer packing structures. In addition, inter-molecular C-H⋯F hydrogen bonding is observed between [Zn(TFPP)] mol-ecules.

Keywords: crystal structure; hydrogen interaction; zinc porphyrin; π–π interaction.
