  ABSTRACT: The reaction of the cobalt(II) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) starting material with an excess of 2-aminophenol (Hon) in organic solvents, yields the cobalt(II) porphyrin species [CoII(TPP)(Hon)2] (1). This compound has been characterized by UV-vis., IR, MSI MS and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The UV-vis data and especially the proton NMR results, for the isolated product, indicated that complex 1 is a Co(II) mesoporphyrin derivative.The X-ray molecular structure of the title compound bis(2-aminophenol) (tetraphenylporphyrinato) cobalt(II) has been determined. This structure is the first one reported of a metalloporphyrin with a 2-aminophenol axial ligand species. The central metal is hexacoordinated by the four nitrogen atoms of the pyrrole rings and the nitrogen atoms of the two Hon trans axial ligands.
