utilized as the alkylating reagents to conveniently access rhodium porphyrin alkyl complexes in up to 91% yields under basic conditions. Mechanistic investigations suggest two possible pathways for the C–O bond cleavage: (1) nucleophilic substitution with rhodium(I) porphyrin anion and (2) a borrowing hydrogen pathway via rhodium(III) porphyrin hydride.

been achieved with rhodium(III) tetrakis-4-tolylporphyrin chloride (Rh(ttp)Cl) to give Rh(ttp)Ar. For 4-chlorofluorobenzene, the aryl carbon–fluorine (Ar–F) bond cleavage competes with the Ar–Cl bond cleavage. Mechanistic investigations show that the Ar–Cl bond cleavage goes through metalloradical ipso-substitution mechanism, while the Ar–F bond cleavage goes through nucleophilic aromatic substitution
