We have investigated the optical fluorescence and absorption properties of several tetraphenylporphine (TPP) bases and their metal complexs. The fluorescence spectra are reported. The kinetics of metal insertion into the TPP base was studied by fluorescence and by NMR. In addition, the synthesis of several TPP derivatives under mild conditions were carried out using a deutero acid to establish the source of protons in the adduct.
