[5,10,15,20-Tetra­kis(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)porphyrinato]zinc di­chloro­methane disolvate

In the title compound, [Zn(C(48)H(36)N(4)O(4))]·2CH(2)Cl(2), the Zn(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated in an almost ideal square-planar geometry. The asymmetric unit also contains one di­chloro­methane solvent mol­ecule. The unique meth­oxy-substituted benzene rings form dihedral angles of 59.38 (6) and 66.77 (6)° with the mean plane (r.m.s. deviation of fitted atoms = 0.0282 Å) of the atoms in the porphyrin core. The packing is characterized by close contacts between the Zn(II) ion and two symmetry-related mol­ecules through the O atoms of a meth­oxy­phenyl group [Zn⋯O = 2.694 (2) Å], forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (100).
