Supramolecular assembly of (methanol)[10,15,20-tris(4-cyanophenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)porphyrinato]zinc(II) by intermolecular hydrogen bonding and weak coordination.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C46H24N8)(CH4O)], consists of two-dimensional supramolecular arrays sustained by O-H...N(pyridyl) hydrogen bonding and weak Zn...NC coordination. The interlayer organization in the crystal structure is characterized by tight stacking of the corrugated layers.
