Background: Zn(II) meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) Porphine is a synthetic porphyrin specialty chemical manufactured by Frontier Specialty Chemicals. Zn(II) meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) Porphine covered to the corresponding trihexyltetradecylphosphonium salt which was found to have improved Photosensitizing properties over the starting material.¹ Metal organic frameworks MOFs derived from Zn(II) meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) Porphine where found to selectively absorb certain organic dyes.² 2D self-assembled Zn(II) meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)Porphine was found to be active for the photocatalytic production of hydrogen.³ Zn(II) meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)Porphine was used to assemble ZnO nanorods with adjustable size.⁴ A review was published on porphyrin-based MOFs with an emphasis on those containing meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine and metallated derivatives.^5-6
