Cobalt-porphyrin anions, nucleophilic

The metal-centered reduction of iron and cobalt porphyrins [(por)Afn] yields metalloporphyrin anions [Eq. (13.13)]. The reduction potential for this reaction is 13, and is equivalent to the N- value for the oxidation of the metal-centered nucleophile [(por)uM-]. The one-electron reduction of alkyl halides yields the...
