Background: Porphine is a synthetic specialty chemical manufactured by Frontier Specialty Chemicals. Porphine is the simplest porphyrin since it is completely unsubstituted. The corresponding Mg(II) adduct can be mono-meso functionalized electrochemically.¹ The solid state electrochemistry of porphine in water was reported.² Porphine and simple derivatives have been separated by HPLC.³ An overview of the chemistry, spectroscopy, theory and applications of porphine was published.⁴
