Hello,
I recently ran a reaction and attempted to isolate a porphyrin sample via flash column than recrystallization and attained a NMR with the following but I'm unsure if the sample is still a mixture of porphyrins. Can anyone enlighten me please because I'm trying to characterize any product but this seems like a mixture to me.

Please give details. Starting material? Reaction conditions? Proposed product?

I totally forgot to include that stuff!

But the reactant is meso-tetra(4-methylphenyl) porphine.

The reaction is a bromination reaction. 
    Successful bromination- confirmed by Beilstein test.
 
Initially the reaction was expected to yield a bromine on the methyl positions but the NMR does not indicate a signal at 4.4ppm which is the signal needed based in other sources.

I believe the bromine attacked the pyrrole positions or directly on the phenyl based on the HNMR.

Looks like a mixture. Beta protons are a mess of peaks.  So either you have a mixture or you got bromination at one or more of the beta positions.
