title: Dimeric and monomeric forms of manganese N-confused porphyrin.
abstract: The synthesis and structural characterization of a manganese adduct of N-confused tetraphenylporphyrin (NCTPP) is presented; in the absence of coordinating ligands this complex forms a novel dimer structure and demonstrates a potential manganese agostic interaction with the interior pyrrolic CH as seen in other first row transition metal NCTPP compounds.
