Dimeric iron n-confused porphyrin complexes

A dimeric iron N-confused porphyrin, [Fe(NCTPP)](2) was obtained from the anaerobic reaction of Fe(NCTPP) Br with NaSePh while under aerobic conditions a hydroxo bridged iron dimer with Na bridging the outer-N atoms was obtained and oxygenation occurred on the inner core pyrrolic carbon to form a novel ONCTPP porphyrinic ring.
