Abstract
The synthesis of tetraphenylporphyrin, H2[TPP], and para-substituted tetraphenylporphyrins, H2[(p-X)4TPP], where X = CN, CH3, and OCH3, is easily accomplished using microscale glassware. The compounds are synthesized from inexpensive starting reagents.

Accurate Specification of Molecular Structures: The Case for Zero-Order Bonds and Explicit Hydrogen Counting
Alex M. ClarkJournal of Chemical Information and Modeling2011 51 (12), 3149-3157Accurate Specification of Molecular Structures: The Case for Zero-Order Bonds and Explicit Hydrogen Counting
Alex M. ClarkJournal of Chemical Information and Modeling2011 51 (12), 3149-3157Most data structures used to represent molecular entities for cheminformatics are underspecified for purposes of representing nonorganic chemical species. Two extensions are proposed: allowing bond orders of 0 and adding an atom property to control the ...
