## Abstract The equivalent dipole model of the ring current shift in benzene is shown to be equivalent to that of the well‐known two current loop calculation. A network model of the ring current effect in the porphyrin system is described, using the double–dipole approximation, to give a calculatio

Abstract
The proton NMR spectra of tetraphenylporphyrin, octaethylporphyrin and the analogous chlorins (7,8‐dihydroporphyrins) are presented, and the chemical shift changes on chlorin formation are interpreted using a ring current model. In these compounds a general 10% reduction in the ring current occurs upon chlorin formation. Similar comparison of the chemical shifts of the corresponding dications and also of the protonated form of 2‐vinylphylloerythrin methyl ester with the corresponding chlorin, methyl pyropheophorbide‐a, shows that chlorin formation now has a much larger effect on the ring current, this reflecting the increased steric effects within the macrocycle which occur upon protonation. Variable temperature studies on the porphyrins and chlorins examined show clearly the effect of NH exchange processes and, in particular, novel intermolecular exchange processes with trifluoroacetic acid in the protonated species are recorded.

## Abstract A model of the paramagnetism in cobalt(II) porphyrin complexes has been developed which successfully calculates paramagnetic shifts for protons not affected by the contact term. The model utilizes a single large dipole positioned on the cobalt(II) atom, and calculates the pseudo‐contact
The change in ring current of octaethylporphyrin, meso-tetraphenylporphyrin and phthalocyanine cobalt(II1) complexes with axial amine ligands was studied using a double dipole network model. The porphyrin ring current was found to be highest in octaethylporphyrin but decreased by 5% in meso-tetraphe
Dipolar splittings with a quadratic dependence on static magnetic field strength are reported for selected pairs of nuclei in several porphyrins. These splittings are detectable as a result of a slight molecular alignment caused by the interaction of the static magnetic field with the anisotropic ma
## Abstract The proton NMR spectra of the free base porphyrins γ‐__meso__‐dimethylaminopyrroetioporphyrin‐XV (1) and the corresponding γ‐diethylamino compound 2 show no temperature dependence, and are interpreted as being due to an essentially orthogonal conformation of the γ‐NR~2~ substituents. Ho
