The reaction of zirconium(IV) porphyrinogen with water yields a dinuclear complex in which one mu-oxo ligand bridges two Zr(IV) centres, and two protons are bound to the alpha carbons of two porphyrinogen pyrroles. The reaction establishes the utility of the porphyrinogen macrocycle as a storage site for protons as well as electrons.
