Porphyrins meso-methyl

Fig. 10. a-meso-Methyl-substituted heme groups and their oxidation to biliverdin products. The substituent R in the heme structure is a methyl in the symmetric porphyrin and an ethyl in mesoheme. 

However there is evidence that more severe steric perturbations (e.g. meso methylation) does affect the proton chemical shifts by mechanisms other than inductive effects etc. This could well be due to ring current changes caused by suffling of the porphyrin ring.

Anti-porphyrin antibodies were elicited for [5-(4-carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(4-methylpyridyl)]porphine (3MPylC) or meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (TCPP). meso-Tetrakis(4-methylpyridyl)porphine (TMPyP) was used to investigate the specificity of the antibody dendrimer for porphyrins...

Electrochemistry and spectroscopy of the tt cation radical of meso-tetraalkylchlorin (tetra-methyl) and various porphyrins (tetramethyl, tetraethyl, and tetra-ra-propyl) indicate that these do not convert to Nim at low temperatures.280 Optical evidence reveals, however, that oxidation of the tt cation radical of [Ni(pEt2N)(TPP)] leads to a Ni111 cation radical which can be further oxidized to a Ni111 porphyrin dication. Similar studies have been carried out for various other derivatives of me.so-tetraarylporphyrins such as /V-oxides of TPP and 5,10,15,20-tetramesitylpro-phyrin (TMP). Addition of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) to the /V-oxide of [NinTMP] at —25 °C in CH2C12 results in [Nim(TMP)]+ with a rhombic EPR spectrum, g = 2.40, 2.12, and 2.04.281... 

It is practical to place a washing bottle or scrubber in the gas line just before the manifold. The aqueous solution in this bottle contains a reductant for traces of molecular oxygen and at the same time wets the gas which will minimize a concentrating effect on the sample by drying. A practical solution is 1 mM zinc acetate, 1 pM TMP (meso-tctra(/V-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphinc-tetra-tosylate), 100 mM Na2EDTA, 100 mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 10. The porphyrin complexates the Zn2+ and forms a light-sensitive compound that can be excited by near UV light from an 18 watt TL-tube. 

The water-soluble Fe porphyrin, 3Na+ [Fe(III)(TPPS)] -12H20 [H2TPPS4- = tetra-anionic form of meso-tetrakis(7r-sulfonatophenyl)porphine], has recently been shown to be an effective catalyst for the electroreduction of nitrite to ammonia [419]. The Fe meso-tetrakis(A -methyl-4-pyridyl) porphyrin and/or the Fe meso-tetrakis (jr -sulfophenyl) porphyrin complex shows a catalytic activity for the reduction of dioxygen in aqueous solutions, leading to hydrogen peroxide [420].
