The photochemistry of metalloporphyrins is an active area of research. The involvement of manganese in photosynthetic reaction centers and the efficacy of manganese porphyrins for the catalytic photooxidation of hydroquinone to quinone led us to investigate the photochemistry of simple manganese porphyrins. They report here the photocatalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons by (5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato)manganese(III) (MnTPP/sup +/) with ClO/sub 4//sup -/ and IO/sub 4//sup -/. This is the first photochemical activation of ClO/sub 4//sup -/ as a controlled oxidant.
