Porphyrins with steric hindrance at the periphery are known to exhibit severely non-planar macrocycle conformations. Among other dodecasubstituted porphyrins, the title compound has been studied widely and shows a typical saddle-distorted macrocycle. The specific conformation of the porphyrin leads

โฆ Synopsis
The configurations and conformations of 5.1 S-dialkyloctaethylporphodimethenes HdOEPRd are described for R = Me. Et, iPr, tBu. The "normal" compounds (1 a to ld) have the syn-axial ("au") configuration, the %nomalous" isomers (2b to 4b) the anti configuration at CS.15. This is proved by a crystal structure analysis of the anomalous quasiplanar diisopropyl derivative 3b (monoclinic, p?&). 'H-NMR analyses corroborate these assignments and give dctails of the conformations in solution. By heating in glacial acetic acid, 3b is quantitatively isomerized to give 3a.
