Porphyrin assemblies display inter­esting photophysical properties and a relatively high thermal stability. Moreover, meso-functionalized porphyrins with virtually fourfold symmetry can be relatively readily synthesized from pyrrole and the appropriate aldehyde. A number of metallo derivatives of 5,10,15,20-tetra­kis­(4-cyano­phen­yl)porphyrin, where the N atom of the linear cyano group can act both as a donor for coordination bonds or as an acceptor for hydrogen bonds, have been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The supra­molecular and structural chemistry of the corresponding 2- and 3-cyano­phenyl isomers of the parent porphyrin, however, has remained largely unexplored. The crystal structure of [5,10,15,20-tetra­kis­(3-cyano­phen­yl)porphyrinato]copper(II) (CuTCNPP) nitro­benzene tris­olvate, [Cu(C48H24N8)]·3C6H5NO2, has been determined at 80 K by synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction. CuTCNPP exhibits a C2h-symmetric [alpha][alpha][beta][beta] conformation, despite an unsymmetrical crystal environment, and is situated on a crystallographic centre of symmetry. The CuII ion adopts a genuine square-planar coordination by the four pyrrole N atoms. The 24-membered porphyrin ring system shows no marked deviation from planarity. In the crystal, the CuTCNPP mol­ecules and two nitro­benzene mol­ecules are face-to-face stacked in an alternating fashion, resulting in corrugated layers. The remaining nitro­benzene guest mol­ecule per CuTCNPP resides in the region between four neighbouring columnar stacks of CuTCNPP and sandwiched nitro­benzene mol­ecules, and is disordered over four positions about a centre of symmetry.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
