Reaction Steps

Palladium tetraphenylporphyrin is prepared according to the method of operation described by D. W. Thomas and A. E. Martell, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., Vol. 81, p. 5111 (1959). 10 grams of purified tetraphenylporphyrin and 7.7 grams of palladium chloride are placed in 385 ml of acetic acid. The mixture is refluxed for 10 minutes, then 23 grams of sodium acetate are added and the mixture is refluxed for an hour and then a further 23 grams of sodium acetate are added. After 2 additional hours under reflux, the mixture is allowed to cool and poured into 800 ml of water. The precipitate is obtained by filtration, washed with water and, after drying, 12.3 grams of the Pd complex is obtained.
