Abstract
The trends of kinetic resistance of borofluoride complexes of alkyl- and sulfo-substituted dipyrrolylmethene (Bodipy) to protolytic and solvoprotolytic dissociation in organic solvents and aqueous solutions are studied. It is established that among dipyrrolylmethene complexes with d elements, Bodipy is notable for its superresistance to acids. The rate of the dissociation reaction increases with increasing acidity of protonating mixtures or decreasing effective charge of the coordinating nitrogen atoms of the ligand. Dissociation of the complexes occurs in accordance with a second-order rate equation. A kinetic model of the process is proposed; its kinetic and activation parameters are determined. The energy profiles of the initial stages of protolytic dissociation reactions are calculated using quantum-chemical methods for two suggested variants of the transient state; the energetically preferable pathway is recognized.
