In the title molecule, C13H16N4O3, the mean planes of the phenyl and triazole rings are nearly perpendicular to one another as a result of the intramolecular C—H...O and C—H...π(ring) interactions. In the crystal, layers parallel to (101) are generated by O—H...N, N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds. The layers are connected by inversion-related pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The experimental molecular structure is close to the gas-phase geometry-optimized structure calculated by DFT methods. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important interaction involving hydrogen in the title compound is the H...H contact. The contribution of the H...O, H...N, and H...H contacts are 13.6, 16.1, and 54.6%, respectively.

Synthesis and crystal structure analysis of meso-tetratolylporphyrins, 1–5 combined with computational Hirshfeld surface analysis were investigated. The crystal packing of porphyrins 1, 3 and 4 are arranged in an “orthogonal fashion” whereas 2 and 5 are in a “slip-stack or off-set fashion” through various intermolecular interactions. Compound 2 exhibits saddle geometry whereas 5 showed a domed geometry as evident from the single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The enhancement of non-planarity in 2 is probably due to the presence of numerous intermolecular interactions caused by the presence of trifluoroacetate anions on both faces of the porphyrin in addition to the bulky bromine groups at the [Formula: see text]-pyrrole positions. In 5, the non-planarity is merely due to the metal coordination at the porphyrin core as pentacoordinated Mn[Formula: see text] center with a chloro ligand in the axial position. Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed in order to analyze the various intermolecular interactions present in these porphyrins and the result was discussed.
