β¦ Synopsis
The Mn(II), Co(B), Cu(I1) and Zn(II) complexes of N-methyla,@,y,atetraphenyiporphine e_xhibit very similar visible absorption spectra. These species are true complexes, yet the spectral similarities resemble results for porphyrin ion-pairs in which the porphyrin moiety is protonated. Such spectral comparisons have been made in discussions of the existence of porphyrin "sltting-atop" complexes as intermediates in the formation of natural metalloporphyrins.
The changes in the spectrum of the free base N-methylporphyrin when a metal complex is formed involve bathochromic shifts that have been observed on protonation of the corresponding nonmethylated porphyrin, TPP.

Visible absorption spectra are reported for a series of anion radicals of diaryl carbonyl compounds. The radicals were generated by electrolytic reduction of benzophenone, p-phenylbenzophenone, and 1-naphthylphenyl and 2-naphthylphenyl ketones as well as di-1-naphthyl and di-2-naphthyl ketones in N,
