An unexpected bonding interaction between dxy and axial cyanide mediated by porphyrin deformation

Abstract: Through density functional calculation and NMR spectroscopy, an unexpected bonding interaction between d(xy) and axial cyanides is revealed to account for the lower shielding of axial cyanide of ruffled [Fe(TRP)(CN)(2)](-) complexes with the contribution of the unusual low-spin electronic structure (d(xz)d(yz))(4)(d(xy))(1).

“…This ring distortion is evidenced by their absorption spectra, the broad and red-shifted bands. Both features are typical spectral features of nonplanar porphyrins. , The substituent-triggered distortion of porphyrin can entice a displacement of the central metal and the nitrogen atoms of pyrrolic units, where severe ruffling affects the electronic interaction between the metal and the porphyrin macrocycle. As a result of these perturbations in the electronic structures of porphyrin ring, 1·2CN – and 2·2CN – display additional absorption bands in 400–410 nm. Particularly, as compared to 1 , the four BTz substituents of 2 on both sides of the porphyrin plane can give rise to more severe ruffling in the axial-binding process of CN – , leading to a more noticeable absorption band at 410 nm.…”

“…The Fe(III)-CN − interaction is dominated by σ donation from the cyanide lone pair to the metal d z 2 orbital 8788. It is well-established that π back-bonding in Fe(III)-CN − is very weak and contributes minimally to the bonding interaction 88.…”

“…The Fe(III)-CNinteraction is dominated by σ donation from the cyanide lone pair to the metal d z 2 orbital. 87,88 It is well-established that π backbonding in Fe(III)-CNis very weak and contributes minimally to the bonding interaction. 88 Chemical shifts observed in heme 13 CN --ligated proteins are found to be very far upfield, which is consistent with a negative spin density, a consequence of spin polarization through the σ bond.…”

“…[20][21][22][23] This term is also successfully related to the isotropic shifts with neat linearity in many metalloporphyrin molecules, but it lacks a connection to the metal-porphyrin bonding interactions and completely neglects the pseudo-contact contributions because in the analyses of 13 C NMR data at a-, b-, and meso-C atoms, the contact shifts were thought to be more considerable than dipolar contributions. [24,25] In our cases, the calculated Fermi contact spin populations (1 ab ) of a-, b-, and meso-C atoms are given in square brackets in Table 2.…”
