Chloro­form was found to occupy the lattice of the protonated porphyrin and to promote crystallization of a different poly­morphic form of a metalloporphyrin. The structure of 5,10,15,20-tetra­phenyl­porphyrin-21,23-diium dichloride chloro­form octa­solvate, C44H32N42+·2Cl·8CHCl3, (I), in the solid state is described and compared with related solvates. The porphyrin macrocycle displays a distorted saddle shape, with chloride anions above and below the ring. Seven chloro­form mol­ecules are bound via C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, while the link with the eighth solvent mol­ecule is weaker. A new monoclinic polymorph of (5,10,15,20-tetra­phenyl­porphyrinato)copper(II), [Cu(C44H28N4)], (II), crystallized from chloro­form, is also presented.
