Answer
![[5,10,15,20-Tetra(4-pyridinyl)porphyrinato(2-)-kappa~2~N~21~,N~23~]zinc](https://static.chemtradehub.com/structs/311/31183-11-6-b87c.webp "[5,10,15,20-Tetra(4-pyridinyl)porphyrinato(2-)-kappa~2~N~21~,N~23~]zinc")
[5,10,15,20-Tetra(4-pyridinyl)porphyrinato(2-)-kappa~2~N~21~,N~23~]zinc can be synthesized by reacting zinc acetate with 4-pyridylporphyrin in an organic solvent under reflux conditions. Commonly, this reaction is performed with a molar ratio of zinc acetate to porphyrin, with the addition of a suitable Lewis acid catalyst to improve yield and selectivity. The product is typically obtained as a crystalline solid after purification.
