Abstract

The first reported (conventional) gas chromatographic results for transition metal porphyrin complexes are presented. They may be the first metal complexes containing a closed macrocyclic ring to be gas chromatographed. Kovats retention indices are in the range of 5200-5600, necessitating the use of short capillary columns. For Aetioporphyrin I, complete separation of Cu, Ni, VO, Co, Pd and Pt complexes is possible, but with octaethylporphyrin the nickel and vanadyl complexes are incompletely resolved.
