A series of some A3B type mesoporphyrinic compounds were synthesized with superior yields using the microwave irradiation. The prepared compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis, NMR and EPR spectroscopy, which fully confirmed their structures. The spectral molecular absorpti...
