Complex Formation and Spectral Properties of meso-Phenyltetrabenzoporphyrins in Pyridine and N,N-Dimethylformamide
摘要:
Contributions of structural (macroring distortion) and polarization (in asymmetrically substituted derivatives) effects into the reactivity and chromophoric properties of substituted porphyrins were revealed on the basis of the kinetics of complex formation of nona, deca-, undeca-, and dodecasubstituted porphyrins (meso-phenyltetrabenzoporphyrins) with Zn(OAc)(2) in pyridine and the electronic absorption spectra of the ligands and their complexes with Zn(II) and Cu(II) in pyridine and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Dodecaphenyl substitution produces a weaker ring distortion in the more aromatic tetrabenzoporphyrin compared with porphyrins themselves. Irrespective of the degree of macroring nonplanarity, the Zn (11) and Cu complexes of tetrabenzoporphyrins with increasing degree of meso-phenyl substitution meet a spectral stability criterion.
The efficiency of the photosensitized generation of singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) with meso-phenyl substituted tetrabenzoporphyrin metallo complexes as sensitizer was determined from the limiting quantum yield of the (+)-limonene photooxygenation and compared with that of hematoporphyrin (HP), which has been known to serve as an effective sensitizer, using a He-Ne laser light (633 mm). Among the diamagnetic (Mg, Zn, and Cd) complexes treated here, the Zn complexes were most efficient for the (+)-limonene photooxygenation with the limiting quantum yields of PHI(-A) = 0.4. This result was comparable to that of HP. The direct observation of the intensity of O-1(2) emission by the laser flash photolysis technique supported these results.
Formation of tetrabenzoporphine skeleton by the reactions of phthalimide with zinc carbonates
The high temperature reactions of phthalimide potassium salt (PIK) with various zinc carbonates were carried out. The reaction of PIK with zinc acetate yielded tetrabenzoporphinato zinc (ZnTBP). Tetra-tert-butyltetrabenzoporphinato zinc (ZntBu4TBP), whose four tert-butyl substituents were positioned on the TBP periphery, was also prepared in a similar way using the 4-tert-butylphthalimide potassium salt (4-tBuPIK). These results were explained on the basis of the function of zinc acetate as the meso-methine carbon source of the TBP structure. The use of zinc phenylacetate instead of zinc acetate in the reaction of PIK led to the production of meso-phenyl substituted ZnTBPs, although they were different in the number of meso-phenyl substituent(s). The attempt to introduce alkyl residues at the meso-position(s) by the reaction of PIK in the presence of zinc alkylacetate having a long alkyl chain was not successful, except for the substitution of the methyl group using zinc propionate.
Reinvestigation of synthetic methods for zinc meso-tetraphenyltetrabenzoporphyrin
Kinetic stability of zinc complexes with meso-phenyltetrabenzoporphyrins in DMSO-HOAc mixture and in glacial acetic acid was studied. The stability of complexes was found to decrease with reduction in their macrocyclic effect and with increasing polarization of their macrocycles. The stability of nonplanar and nonsymmetrically substituted complexes was determined to be lower than that of the more planar and symmetrically substituted complexes.

meso-Monophenyltetrabenzoporphine and its zinc complex were synthesized starting from 3-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-yiidenemethyl)-1H-isoindol-1-one. The effect of unsymmetrical meso-substitution on physical and spectral properties of the products is discussed. The results of quantum-chemical calculations suggest spatial distortion of the porphyrin macroring.
