Simple and efficient method for synthesis of metallodeutero-porphyrin derivatives bearing symmetrical disulphide bond

A novel thiol-derivative porphyrin [2,7,12,18-tetramethyl-13,17-di(3-disulfidepropyl)porphyrin] bearing the symmetrical disulphide bond and its metal complexes have been successfully prepared by means of modification on naturally easily derived heme. The results are described by MS–MS and UV–vis spectroscopy.
