5,10,15,20-Tetra-kis(3,5-difluorophenyl)porphyrin

The crystal structure of the title compound, C44H22F8N4, shows an unusual non-planar geometry of the porphyrin ring although the mol-ecule is free of steric crowding around the periphery of the macrocycle. The mol-ecular packing exhibits weak inter-molecular hydrogen bonding (C - H⋯F) and C - H⋯π inter-actions. The molecular symmetry is . © International Union of Crystallography 2008.
