A general method for the preparation of early transition metal porphyrin halide complexes using a porphyrin dianion, (THF)2Li2(POR) (POR = OEP, TTP; OEP = octaethylporphyrinato, TTP = meso-tetra-p-tolylporphyrinato), and the appropriate metal halide complex, MXn (MXn = VCl3(THF)3, TiCl4(THF)2, TiCl3(THF)3, MoCl4(CH3CN)2, WCl4), is described. The structure of (TTP)VIIICl·THF (2·THF) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex 2·THF crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P21/m with a = 11.968(2) A?, b = 17.072(3) A?, c = 12.649(2) A?, β = 98.62(2)°, V = 2555.2(8) A?3, Z = 2, R = 4.6%, and Rw = 6.7%. The V-Cl bond length is 2.272(1) A?, the V-N bond lengths range from 2.040(4) to 2.050(3) A?, and the V-O bond distance is 2.141 (3) A?.
