Acid–Basic Properties of Al(III), Ga(III), and In(III) Complexes with Octaphenyltetraazaporphine

Abstract

Al(III), Ga(III), and In(III) complexes with octaphenyltetraazaporphine and halide axial ligands of the composition [(X)MTAP] (X = F, Cl, Br) and In(III) complexes with bidentate ligands of the composition [(Y)InTAP] (Y = nitrite (NO2) and 2,3-naphthodiolate (NpO2)) were synthesized. The acid–basic properties of the complexes were studied in the proton-donor media and the concentration stability constants of the acidic forms obtained at the first protonation stage were determined. The effect of the nature of a metal and extra ligand on the basic properties of meso-nitrogen atom in macrocyclic ligand was discussed.
