Synthesis of Manganese PPIX

  • Today, Dhea and I are going to synthesize MnPPIX in DMF under the presence of nitrogen. We are going to follow the Adler protocol for the synthesis, as I did back in 2012.
  • Procedure:
  1. 50 mL of DMF was brought to reflux in a 19/22 round bottom flask with a 100 V Volt-ac heating pad with a stir bar under the presence of N2 gas
  2. 499.3 mg of PPIX was measured out and added to the DMF once the DMF began to reflux
  3. 364.1 mg of Manganese Acetate was measured out and dissolved in a minimum amount of DMF
  4. The Manganese dissolved in DMF was added to the refluxing solution using a needle and a syringe
  5. The solution was let reflux for 30 minutes
