Abstract

3,3'-Dibutyl-4,4'-dimethylpyrrolylmethane was reacted with 9,10-bis(2-formylphenyloxymethyl)anthracene to synthesize a capped porphyrin, and its zinc complex was prepared. The coordination properties of the capped zinc porphyrin in extra coordination with N-methylimidazole, imidazole, pyridine, 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, and dimethylformamide in o-xylene were studied. A correlation of the stability of the extra complexes and the basicity of the extra ligands was established. A correlation between the stability of the extra complexes and the shifts of their principal electronic absorption bands with respect to those of the zinc porphyrin was found. Deformations of the porphyrin ligand were noted to affect the strengyh of the metalextra ligand σ bond. The geometric and energetic characteristics of the fivecoordinate zinc porphyrin were obtained by quantum-chemical calculations. A correlation between the calculated energy of interaction of the central metal atom with the nitrogen atom of the extra ligand and the stability of the extra complexes of the capped Zn porphyrin was revealed.
