A family of binuclear highly substituted and distorted ferric porphyrins bridged through a variety of p-hydroquinone dianions is reported. Two iron(II) porphyrins are oxidized with a consequence of 2 e reduction of the p-benzoquinone unit, which produces the binuclear ferric complex bridged with dianions of hydroquinone. The electronic structures of the dimeric complexes have been confirmed by using UV/Vis, IR, 1 H NMR, EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopy as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The hydroquinone plane is remarkably tilted to form a Fe-O-C angle of approximately 132°and a dihedral angle of approximately 53°with the porphyrin mean plane.
