Cobalt tetramethoxyphenylporphyrin

PURPLE POWDER

Starting material in the synthesis of cobalt nitrosyl porphyrins for use in the study of the binding and activation of nitric oxide.

Tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)-21H,23H-porphine cobalt(II) is an organometallic complex used as an oxidation catalyst in a variety of synthetic reactions such as the selective oxidation of amines.

Arsenite Ionophore I (5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrinatocobalt (TMOPP-Co)) can be synthesized by boiling a mixture of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin (TMOPP) and cobalt acetate in glacial acetic acid. It has tendency towards attracting molybdate ions.
