  • Chlorophyll contains magnesium as its metallic constituent.The chlorophyll molecule has a porphyrin head with a tetrapyrrolic ring structure and a phytol tall of hydrocarbons.Magnesium is present in the head region of the chlorophyll molecule. Chlorophyll or leaf green is a porphyrin derivative with magnesium as the central atom and is hence a metal complex dye.
