Abstract
A new purification method of magnesium(II) and zinc(II) porphine complexes (MgP and ZnP, respectively) by crystallization of their respective pyridine adducts is described. Pure MgP and ZnP can be regenerated by removal of the coordinated pyridine ligands by heating at 200 °C under vacuum. X-ray crystallographic structures of the pyridine adducts are presented for the first time. NMR analyses of the adducts reveal the coordination of two pyridine molecules. Electrochemical as well as UV-vis absorption spectroscopy analyses in DMF of MgP·(Py)2, ZnP·(Py)2, MgP and ZnP indicate that pyridine adducts are totally dissociated. Besides, oxidation peaks of these complexes are totally irreversible, revealing a high reactivity of the oxidized species. Electrolyses at the first oxidation potential lead to the formation of the meso-meso (ZnP)2 and (MgP)2 dimers, oligomers and polymers on the electrode surface, as attested by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy analyses of the crude solution.
