Molecular assembling using axial phenolate on an iron N-confused porphyrin complex

The reaction of sodium phenolate and Fe( HCTPPH) Br assembles a dimeric iron( III) complex with a channel-like solid state packing; the intramolecular iron-to-iron distance of 8.864 angstrom is the longest among the available N-confused porphyrin dimeric complexes.
