Abstract

Stable chromium complex (AcO)CrTPP was synthesized through the reaction of meso-tetraphenylporphine with chromium(III) acetate in boiling phenol. Coordination properties of chromium porphyrin in reaction with imidazole and pyridine in o-xylene were studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy and computer modeling. A single-electron oxidation of chromium(III) complex was found to be affected by peroxide compounds. The stability of an extra complex depends on the basic properties of the extra ligand and oxidation number of the central metal atom. The complex stability correlates with the calculated energy of formation of the metal–extra ligand bond. The geometrical structure and energy parameters of hexacoordinated chromium porphyrins were calculated using the quantum-chemical method. The effect of the cis and trans position of ligands in the composition of a macrocyclic compound was established to be significant only in the extra complexes (AcO)CrTPP.
