The ligand group can be introduced either on the meso or on the /5-pyrrole position of the porphyrin ring, but the synthesis of the meso-functionalized derivatives is easier and has been more widely exploited. Balch (50-53) reported that the insertion of trivalent ions such as Fe(III) (32) and Mn(III) (33) into octaethyl porphyrins functionalized at one meso position with a hydroxy group (oxophlorins) leads to the formation of a dimeric head-to-tail complex in solution (Fig. 11a) (50,51). An X-ray crystal structure was obtained for the analogous In(III) complex (34), and this confirmed the head-to-tail geometry that the authors inferred for the other dimers in solution (53) (Fig. lib). The dimers are stable in chloroform but open on addition of protic acids or pyridine (52). The Fe(III) octaethyloxophlorin dimer (52) is easily oxidized by silver salts. The one-electron oxidation is more favorable than for the corresponding monomer or p-oxo dimer, presumably because of the close interaction of the 7r-systems in the self-assembled dimer. 

The stable silene Me2Si=C(SiMe3(SiMe(r-Bu)2) was first reported as a stable complex with THF,34 and its crystal structure showed the length of the silicon-carbon double bond as 1.747 A. Subsequently, it was possible to remove the THF and isolate the uncomplexed silene, which had a noticeably shorter Si=C bond length of 1.702 A.29 Further investigation showed that stable complexes of this or closely related silenes with trimethyl- or ethyldimethylamine, pyridine, and fluoride ion were also readily formed and moderately stable.31141... 

Reduction of both nickel porphyrins and thiaporphyrins to Ni1 species has been studied by EPR and 2H NMR spectroscopy.179, 2 58 The Ni1 complex of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-thiaporphyrin has been isolated and characterized. Reaction of this complex with sulfur dioxide produced a paramagnetic five-coordinated Ni1 S02 adduct, while reaction with nitrogenous base ligands (amines, pyridines, imidazoles) yielded five- and six-coordinate complexes. In addition, the crystal structure of Ni1 diphenyldi-p-tolyl-21-thiaporphyrin has been determined. The coordination geometry about the nickel center is essentially square planar with extremely short Ni—N and Ni—S bonds (Ni—N = 2.015(2) A, 2.014(12) A, and 1.910(14) A and Ni—S = 2.143(6) A).2359... 

Zinc dithiocarbamates have been used for many years as antioxidants/antiabrasives in motor oils and as vulcanization accelerators in rubber. The crystal structure of bis[A, A-di- -propyldithio-carbamato]zinc shows identical coordination of the two zinc atoms by five sulfur donors in a trigonal-bipyramidal environment with a zinc-zinc distance of 3.786 A.5 5 The electrochemistry of a range of dialkylthiocarbamate zinc complexes was studied at platinum and mercury electrodes. An exchange reaction was observed with mercury of the electrode.556 Different structural types have been identified by variation of the nitrogen donor in the pyridine and N,N,N, N -tetra-methylenediamine adducts of bis[7V,7V-di- .vo-propyldithiocarbamato]zinc. The pyridine shows a 1 1 complex and the TMEDA gives an unusual bridging coordination mode.557 The anionic complexes of zinc tris( V, V-dialkyldithiocarbamates) can be synthesized and have been spectroscopically characterized.558...
