Interaction of meso ‐tetraarylporphyrins (H 2 T(4‐X)PP, X=H, CH 3 , OCH 3 , Br) and o ‐chloranil (C 6 Cl 4 O 2 ) in chloroform at room temperature, with any ratio of the reactants leads to formation of [H 2 T(4‐X)PP(C 6 Cl 4 O 2 ) 2 ] compounds as a sole yield. The significant UV‐vis, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectral results suggested distortion of porphyrin core structure in the molecular complexes. Spectral data of the complexes revealed that the lone pair electron of a pyrrolenine nitrogen of porphyrin (σ‐electron donor) occupy π * orbital of a CO group in one o ‐chloranil molecule (π‐electron acceptor).
