A series of mono- and dirhodium(I) meso-diaryl dibenzoporphyrin(2.1.2.1) complexes containing $p$-tolyl, phenyl or pentafluorophenyl meso-substiuents were synthesized and characterized as to their electrochemical and spectroscopic properties in organic solvents and the data compared to that for same series of free base dibenzoporphyrins in their neutral and protonated forms. The redox behavior of the free base, mono- and di-metallic porphyrins was measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in methylene chloride or pyridine before and after the addition of acid in the form of TFA and the products of electron transfer are proposed on the basis of the CV data combined with results from thin-layer UV-visible spectroelectrochemistry. X-ray crystal structures of the dirhodium(I) complexes are also reported.

一系列单铑(I)内消旋二芳基二苯并卟啉(2.1.2.1)配合物，含有$p$合成了对甲苯基、苯基或五氟苯基内消旋取代基，并对其在有机溶剂中的电化学和光谱性质进行了表征，并将数据与中性和质子化形式的同系列游离碱二苯并卟啉的数据进行了比较。在加入 TFA 形式的酸之前和之后，通过循环伏安法 (CV) 测量了游离碱、单金属和双金属卟啉的氧化还原行为，并提出了电子转移产物。 CV 数据与薄层紫外可见分光电化学结果相结合。还报道了二铑(I)配合物的X射线晶体结构。
