title: (Nitrato-κO)oxido(5,10,15,20-tetra-phenyl-porphyrinato-κN)molybdenum(V) benzene solvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Mo(C(44)H(28)N(4))(NO(3))O]·C(6)H(6), the porphyrin ring is centrosymmetric. The Mo atom, oxide ion and nitrate ion are equally disordered over two sites, such that the Mo atom is displaced by 0.366 (1) Å towards the oxide ion from the 24-atom mean plane of the porphyrin, and also makes a long Mo-O bond to a nitrate O atom. A centrosymmetric benzene solvent mol-ecule is situated between adjacent porphyrin mol-ecules.
