Claims
- 1. Method for making haloporphyrins which comprises reacting a metal complex of a porphyrin with chlorine, bromine or fluorine to obtain as product a complex of said metal with a haloporphyrin having 1 to 12 halogen atoms in meso and/or beta positions and having at least one halogen atom in a meso position.
- 2. Method according to claim 1 wherein said metal is copper or zinc.
- 3. Method according to claim 1 wherein said haloporphyrin contains 12 halogen atoms.
- 4. Method according to claim 1 wherein said product is converted to the free base form of said haloporphine, and a second metal is inserted in said free base form to obtain a complex of said second metal and said haloporphine.
- 5. Method according to claim 4 wherein said product is inactive for catalyzing oxidation of hydrocarbons to alcohols, and said complex of said second metal is active for said oxidation.
- 6. Method according to claim 5 wherein said product is a copper or zinc complex and said second metal is iron.
