The beta-chlorination of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin via its nickel(II) complex is also described. In addition, we communicate the first perchlorination of tetramesitylporphyrin, where halogen substitution occurred at the beta-pyrrolic positions as well as at both the vacant meta positions of the trimethylphenyl groups. The iron complexes of these various polyhalogenated porphyrins are also described, since they are robust and efficient catalysts in oxidation reactions.}, keywords = {6-dichlorophenyl) porphyrin, bromination, CATALYST, CHLORINATION, COMPLEXES, EASY ACCESS, EFFICIENT CATALYSTS, EPOXIDATION, home, iron porphyrin, IRON(III) PORPHYRINS, METALLOPORPHYRIN, METALLOPORPHYRINS, OXIDATION, SELECTIVE AIR-OXIDATION, TETRAARYLPORPHYRINS, tetrakis(2, TETRAMESITYLPORPHYRIN, TETRAPHENYLPORPHYRINS}, isbn = {0037-8968}, url = {://A1996VN33900018}, author = {Wijesekera, T. and Dupre, D. and Cader, M.
