Abstract
The metal-free porphyrins protonation has gained interest over five decades because its structure modification and hardly monoacid intermediate isolation. Here, upon the hydrogen atom abstraction processes, one step diproptonated H3STTP(BF4)2 (STTP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-thiaporphyrin) (3) and stepwise protonated HS2TTPSbCl6 (5) and diprotonated H2S2TTP(BF4)2 (6) (S2TTP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21,23-thiaporphyrin) compounds were obtained using HSTTP and S2TTP with oxidants. The closed-shell protonated compounds were fully characterized using XRD, UV-vis, IR and NMR spectra. In addition, the reduced 19π compounds [K(2,2,2)]HSTTP (2) and [K(2,2,2)]S2TTP (7) were synthesized by the ligands with reductant KC8 in THF solution. These two open-shell compounds were characterized with UV-vis, IR and EPR spectroscopies. The semiempirical ZINDO/S method was employed to analyze the HOMO/LUMO gap lever and identify the electronic transitions of the UV-vis spectra of the closed- and open-shell porphyrin compounds.
