2,7,12,17-Tetrakis[4-(1-hexyloxy)phenyl]- 21,22,23,24-tetraazapentacyclo[16.2.1.1 3,6 .1 8,11 .1 13,16 ]- tetracosa-1,3,5,7,9,11(23),12,14,16,18(21),19-undec ene, C 68 H 78 N 4 O 4 , M r =1015.4, orthorhombic, Pcan, a=10.931 (6), b=18.907 (3), c=28.959 (6) A, V=5985 (4) A 3 , Z=4, D x =1.127 g cm -3 , Mo Kα, λ=0.71069 A, μ=0.65 cm -1 , F(000)=2184, T=291 K, final R=0.0853, wR=0.0907 for 1353 sig nificant reflections [|F 0 |≥4.0σ|Fo|]. The porphyrin ring is planar and bears four long alkyl chains; two of the alkyl chains are above the macrocyclic por phyrin plane while the other two are below the plane
