Abstract

The coordination properties of zinc 5,15-di(ortho-aminophenyl)octaalkylporphyrin in reactions with mono- and dibasic nitrogen bases in benzene are studied by means of computational modeling and spectrophotometric titration. The stability of molecular zinc porphyrinate complexes in solution is estimated and their structure is determined. The correlation between the coordination properties of the compound under investigation and electronic and conformational factors of the macrocycle is established. The base nature is shown to affect the stability of zinc porphyrinate complexes. The correlations between the calculated σ bond energy of the zinc atom with the nitrogen atom of the base (E b) and the equilibrium constant of the axial coordination reaction are obtained. It is demonstrated that the reaction is accompanied by an increase in steric hindrance and a change in the type of deformation of the porphyrin ligand.
