Thin-layer chromatography as a measure of the lipophilicity of Mn complexes on aluminum silica-gel sheets (EMD Chemicals, Inc, 60 F254), with KNO3 (H2Osaturated):H2O:acetonitrile= 1:1:8 as a solvent.

a

Five Rf values correspond to non-methylated and mono to tetra-methylated species in the mixture of Calbiochem product; the 5 species seem to be present in mixture at similar amounts, the average Rf was given.

b

3 Rf values relate to three atropoisomers of MnTnHex-2-PyP; the average values were given so that the lipophilicity of the Mn compounds studied could be compared.
