The (meso-tetraphenylporphyrinato)magnesium(II) complexes with azido (1), cyanato-N (2), and thiocyanato-N (3) ligands were prepared by using 2.2.2-cryptand to solubilize the azide, cyanato, and thiocyanato salts in dichloromethane solvent. These species were characterized by UV/Vis and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and electrochemistry. The first reduction potential and the two first oxidation potentials of the porphyrin rings of these species are not affected by the nature of the axial ligand, and an unusual third irreversible oxidation of the porphyrin ring is observed. The anodic behavior of the magnesium azide derivative is complicated by the appearance of additional signals for ligand-centered electron transfers that originate from the release of the azido ligand of 1. The room-temperature fluorescence spectra of the magnesium complexes 1-3 indicate that the Soret and Q bands are not particularly affected by the nature of the axial ligands. The quantum yields of the S 1 ǞS 0 fluorescence are between 0.10 and 0.19, and the fluorescence lifetimes range between 3.7 and 6.1 ns at room temperature. Complexes 1-3 crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system in the same space
The syntheses, spectroscopic and photophysical properties, and molecular structures of azido-(1), cyanato-N-(2), thio cyanato-N-(3), and cyanido-(4) (meso-tetraphenylporphyrinato)zinc(II) complexes are reported. These species were prepared by using cryptand-222 to solubilize the pseudohalide salts in organic solvents. The UV/Vis spectra of these zinc metalloporphyrins are solvent-dependent and exhibit large redshifted Soret bands compared with those of the [Zn(Porph)L] derivatives in which Porph is a meso-porphyrinato ligand and L is a monodentate neutral axial ligand. The room-temperature fluorescence spectra of the zinc complexes 1-4 indicate that the Q bands are not very affected by the nature of the axial ligands, and their positions are very close to those of previously reported (meso-porphyrinato)zinc complexes. The quantum yields of the S 1 Ǟ S o fluorescence of 1-4 range between 2.8 and 5.5 %, and their fluorescence lifetimes are the same (1.7 ns). Cyclic voltammetry investigations on 1-4 show that the characteristic potentials for the reduction and the two first oxidations of the porphyrin ring
2596are not very affected by the nature of the axial ligand. A third irreversible oxidation of the porphyrin ring is observed. Additional anodic irreversible waves are observed for the thiocyanato-N (3) and cyanido (4) species. The solid-state molecular structures of 1-4 are the first examples of zinc porphyrin complexes with anionic ligands. The average equatorial zinc-pyrrole N atom (Zn-N p ) distances for 1-4 range between 2.083(1) and 2.117(2) Å and are much longer than those of the related pentacoordinate zinc porphyrin complexes with monodentate neutral ligands. As a consequence, the displacement of the Zn 2+ cation from the mean 24-atom plan of the porphyrin core is significant (ca. 0.5 Å), and the porphyrin core is very distorted. The crystal structures of 1-4 are stabilized by weak intermolecular π interactions, CH···Cg (Cg are the centroids of some six-membered phenyl rings and five-membered pyrrole rings). The molecular structure of 1 is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C-H···N hydrogen bonds between one carbon atom of cryptand-222 and the terminal nitrogen atom of the azido ligand.
In this work we report the synthesis of the cadmium(II)-meso-tetra(para-chlorophenyl)porphyrin with the morpholine O-donor axial ligand with formula [Cd(TClPP)(morph)] (I). This coordination compound adopts a distorted five-coordinate square pyramidal geometry indicated by a major doming, a moderate ruffling and saddle distortions of the porphyrinato core. The supramolecular architecture is dominated by intermolecular N−H•••Cl and C−H•••Cl interactions formed between the morpholine and the chlorine atom of the adjacent meso-phenylporphyrin of complex (I). Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out to understand the nature of intermolecular contacts, where the fingerprint plot provides the information about the percentage contribution. UV-visible spectroscopy study highlighted the red-shift of the absorption bands after the insertion of Cd(II) metal ion into TClPP moiety and after coordination of the morpholine axial ligand. Fluorescence emission spectroscopy study showed a remarkable blue-shift effect of the Q bands followed by a dramatical diminution of the fluorescence intensity, quantum yield (φ f) and lifetime (τ f) as consequence of the high quenching effect of the cadmium heavy metal and the distortion of the porphyrin core, which promotes the loss of the "motion energy" by other non-radiative energy dissipation processes than light emission. An increase of the singlet oxygen quantum yield ( ) is also observed due to the heavy atom effect of cadmium(II) cation. The cyclic voltammetry investigation of the free base H 2 TClPP, the starting material [Cd(TClPP)] and the Cd(II)-morpholine porphyrin species (I) is also reported.
