Abstract
Ferromagnetic porphin compounds may be produced by heating a non-ferromagnetic porphin compound having a central transition metal atom in the non-ferromagnetic porphin molecule and at least some of the pyrrole rings of the non-ferromagnetic porphin molecule having benzene or phenyl groups substituted on or integral with said rings. The non-ferromagnetic porphin compound is heated in the substantial absence of oxygen to a temperature sufficient to pyrolyze at least a portion of the benzene or phenyl groups of the non-ferromagnetic porphin compound. A ferromagnetic porphin compound is formed, which is inherently magnetic and is capable of retaining magnetism when exposed to a magnetic field. The resulting ferromagnetic porphin compounds retain their ferromagnetic properties even up to about 473.degree. K. in air and to much higher temperatures in vacuum or an inert atmosphere.
