The crystal and molecular structures of four-coordinate silver (II) and zinc (II) tetraphenylporphyrinates have been determined. Both complexes crystallize in the triclinic system and are isomorphous with the triclinic modification of the parent macrocycle HjTPP. Bond distances in the centrosymmetric coordination groups of both complexes are found to be statistically nonequivalent. Features of the crystal packing of the compounds suggest that this inequivalence arises from asymmetric lattice packing. The average Ag-N distance is 2.092 Á (individual values 2.082 (3) and 2.101 (3) Á), and that for Zn-N is 2.037 Á (individual values 2.045 (2) and 2.029 (2) A). Crystal data for AgTPP: triclinic, a= 10.503 (2) A, b= 12.485 (2) A, c= 6.351 (2) A, a= 97.72 (1), ß= 100.68 (1), 7= 97.150 (9), Z= 1, space group Pi, 5616 observed data, P,= 0.059. Crystal data for ZnTPP: triclinic, a= 10.382 (1) A, b= 12.421 (2) A, c= 6.443 (1) A, a= 98.30 (l), d= 101.15 (1), y= 96.47 (1), Z= 1, space group Pi, 3729 observed data, J?,= 0.036.The determinations of structure for four-coordinate AgTPP and ZnTPP4 were performed several years apart for a disparate variety of reasons. However, one important feature common to both is the probable modulation of porphinato nitrogen-metal bond distances by crystal-packing constraints. The statistically sig-nificant variation inthe complexing MN bond lengths in these d9 and d10 complexes is unexpected on any electronic grounds. However, it is to be noted that crystallographic similarities in these two isomorphous complexes, along with that of triclinic H2TPP, 5 suggest that the basis for the deviations lies incrystal-packing effects. This conclusion, although principally based on indirect evidence, is buttressed by the comparison of the zinc (II) and silver (II) derivatives, which represent metal ions of significantly different size and complexing requirements. AgTPP was initially studied (at Cornell) as a member of a series6 of metalloporphyrin derivatives with large central metal ions. These studies were designed to probe the limits of radial expansion that could be effected in the quasi-rigid porphyrin macrocycle. Complexation of the d9 silver ion does indeed lead to substantial radial expansion of the macrocycle; the average Ag-N bond distance was found to be 2.092 Á. A wholly unan-ticipated structural feature is the large disparity in the two crystallographically unique complexing distances: 2.082 (3) and 2.101 (3) Á. This difference is unexpectedly large considering the close agreement between other chemically equivalent bond distances in the core. Indeed, the difference of 0.019 Á is 5 times the formal estimated standard deviation for the difference. Certain conformational features of triclinic H2TPP, while wholly appropriate for relieving intraannular H—H contacts in crystalline H2TPP, surprisingly remain in the crystal structure of AgTPP. It seemed plausible that the unequal Ag-N bond distances were the consequence of this unexpected retention of conformational features in crystallineAgTPP and that the conformation was itself a result of an asymmetric crystalline environment. It was uncertain which of the two Ag-N bond distances represents that most appropriate for an unconstrained core(Dih geometry). Some years later (at Notre Dame), crystals of an unsolvated form of ZnTPP7 were prepared in the course of other investiga-
