Abstract

The composition and stability of the crystalline H associates of NH active tetrapyrroles with electron-donor solvents were investigated by thermogravimetry. It was found that common porphyrins and their analogs can form 1: 1 and 1: 2 macrocycle solvent H associates whose energy of formation depends on their composition and ranges from 20 to 115 kJ/mol. Based on the results from an analysis of the Stokes shifts, we concluded that the formation of H associates in a solution is accompanied by variations in the degree of macrocycle nonplanarity. The stability of a series of tetrapyrroles with regard to thermal destruction in argon atmosphere and in the presence of atmospheric oxygen was shown to drastically vary.
