Department of Chemistry, 6-335, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA 02143, USA.

Published: September 2008

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.
