摘要:
Resonance Raman (rR) spectroscopy of metalloporphyrins can provide detailed information about the oxidation state, coordination number, and spin state of the central metal ion: These data have been of particular value in the study of natural and model heme systems. Core-size correlations, plots of the porphyrin-ring center to pyrrole nitrogen (Ct-N) distances versus rR frequencies, are frequently utilized to assess structural properties or to confirm spectral assignments. However, in most cases, such plots for beta-pyrrole-substituted porphyrins are limited by the use of Ct-N distances derived from the crystal structures of meso-tetraphenylporphyrins. Because of well-documented structural and spectroscopic differences in these two classes of porphyrins, the utility of such core-size correlations may be impaired. Here we report the crystal structures of three new octaethylporphyrin (OEP) complexes: (1) Fe(OEP)(NCS). C7H8, triclinic, P1 ($) over bar, a = 11.669(2) Angstrom, b = 12.151(2) Angstrom, c = 14.251(3) Angstrom, alpha = 73.77(1)degrees, beta = 87.41(1)degrees, gamma = 82.07(1)degrees, Z = 2, T = -130(1)degrees C; (2) [Fe(OEP)(N-MeIm)(2)][Ag(N-MeIm)(2)][PF6](2), P1 ($) over bar, a = 10.577(2) Angstrom, b = 11.322(2) Angstrom, c = 13.205(2) Angstrom, alpha = 66.61(2)degrees, beta = 82.43(2)degrees, gamma = 77.51(2)degrees, Z = 1, T = -100(1)degrees C; (3) [Fe(OEP)(DMSO)(2)][PF6], monoclinic, C2/c, a = 21.877(4) Angstrom, b = 14.680(3) Angstrom, c = 14.593(3) Angstrom, beta = 93.43(3)degrees, Z = 4, T = -100(1)degrees C. These three constitute a set of ferric compounds that are a high-spin pentacoordinate, a low-spin hexacoordinate, and a high-spin hexacoordinate, respectively. The rR properties of these three compounds together with rR data of two crystallographically defined intermediate-spin, tetracoordinate ferrous complexes, Fe(OEP) and Fe(OEC), are presented. The latter is a chlorin, i.e., a dihydroporphyrin, complex. The present rR data for these crystallographically characterized complexes permit the first rigorous test of earlier Ct-N vs nu correlations in that the spectroscopic and structural parameters are from the same compounds in the same crystalline phase and yield a new core-size correlation for beta-pyrrole-substituted metalloporphyrins. With the present analysis as a foundation, rR spectroscopic studies may be extended to simple complexes in solution as well. as heme proteins in the determination of core sizes and in facilitating spectral assignments.
