Macrocyclic ligands porphyrins

Macrocyclic effect and specific character of complex formation with rigid macrocyclic ligands such as porphyrins and phthalocyanins 97MI8. 

With a tridentate ligand Au(terpy)Cl3.H20 has, in fact, AuCl(terpy)2"1" with weakly coordinated chloride and water while Au(terpy)Br(CN)2 has square pyramidal gold(III) the terpyridyl ligand is bidentate, occupying the axial and one basal position [124]. Macrocyclic complexes include the porphyrin complex Au(TPP)Cl (section 4.12.5) cyclam-type macrocyclic ligands have a very high affinity for gold(III) [125],... 

In contrast, electrocatalysis in a nonaqueous solvent like dichloromethane with soluble palla-dium(II) and silver(II) porphyrins produces mainly oxalate.145 However, demetallation rapidly deactivates the catalysts. In these cases the catalytic processes are interpreted in terms of reduced forms of the macrocyclic ligand, rather than by formation of Pd1 or Ag1 species following metal-centered reduction.

Coordination compounds composed of tetrapyrrole macrocyclic ligands encompassing a large metal ion in a sandwich-like fashion have been known since 1936 when Linstead and co-workers (67) reported the first synthesis of Sn(IV) bis(phthalocyanine). Numerous homoleptic and heteroleptic sandwich-type or double-decker metal complexes with phthalocyanines (68-70) and porphyrins (71-75) have been studied and structurally characterized. The electrochromic properties of the lanthanide pc sandwich complexes (76) have been investigated and the stable radical bis(phthalocyaninato)lutetium has been found to be the first example of an intrinsic molecular semiconductor (77). In contrast to the wealth of literature describing porphyrin and pc sandwich complexes, re-... 

The study of the complexing of macrocycle ligands should be considered for its intrinsic importance rather than for its value in illuminating the mechanism of substitution. Kinetic (but much more thermodynamic °) data are available for the reactions of the different macrocycle ligand types, shown in Fig. 4.5, including azamacrocycles,crown ethers and cryp-tands, and porphyrins. ... 

Ni(II) by strong oxidants, such as OH, Br and (SCN), produced by pulse radiolysis and flash photolysis. Rate constants are 10 M" s for oxidation by OH and Brf and = 10 M s for (SCN)f Ref. 259. The most popular means of production in both aqueous and nonaqueous solution is electrolytic, jjjg ligands which stabilize Ni(III) are cyanide, deprotonated peptides, amines and aminocarboxylates, a-diimines and tetraaza macrocycles, including porphyrins. Low spin d Ni(III) resembles low spin Co(II). The kinetics of the following types of reactions have been studied ... 

An associative mechanism is supported, consistent with a low-spin d configuration. Other ligands such as arsenite reduce Ag(OH>4 in a rapid second-order reaction. It is uncertain whether it occurs via complex formation. Silver(III) macrocycles including porphyrin complexes have been characterized.

A logical extension of the condensation reactions which yield multidentate nitrogen donors is the formation of macrocyclic ligands. The preference of palladium for square planar coordination makes it an ideal metal for the formation of complexes of these ligands. Thus palladium porphyrins are very stable and resistant to demetallation.281 Both 14- and 16-atom macrocycles have been used to form complexes. The ligand l,8-dihydro-5,7,12,14-tetramethyl-dibenzo[b,i][l,4,8,ll]tetraaza[14]annulene reacts with [PdCl2(PhCN)2] to yield the complex (46).
