The four para fluoro groups on 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis-(2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentafluorophenyl)-
porphyrin (TPPF20) are known to react with a variety of nucleophiles, but the reaction …

Porphyrins and phthalocyanines are planar two-dimensional π-compounds, which are
normally difficult to protonate because of the low basicity. When many bulky substituents are …
