Tetraphenyl-porphyrin

More recently 233) it has been reported that cross-linked polystyrene containing imidazole ligands did not provide a support rigid enough to prevent dimerization, and that the p-oxo dimer was benzene extracted from oxygenated tetraphenyl porphyrin iron(ll), Fe(TPP), which had been attached to the modified polystyrene. A discussion of model synthetic porphyrins, from which definitive structural and other physical data are obtained, is given in section V.C.

From Ref. 287) b Rh piv = Rh2(OOCCMe3)4 RhTPPI = iodorhodium(III) meso-tetraphenyl-porphyrin (47a) Rh TMPI = iodorhodium(III) meso-tetramesitylporphyrin (47c) c Ratio of CH3 CH2 insertion, corrected for number of H atoms. 

The Lewis acid-Lewis base interaction outlined in Scheme 43 also explains the formation of alkylrhodium complexes 414 from iodorhodium(III) meso-tetraphenyl-porphyrin 409 and various diazo compounds (Scheme 42)398), It seems reasonable to assume that intermediates 418 or 419 (corresponding to 415 and 417 in Scheme 43) are trapped by an added nucleophile in the reaction with ethyl diazoacetate, and that similar intermediates, by proton loss, give rise to vinylrhodium complexes from ethyl 2-diazopropionate or dimethyl diazosuccinate. As the rhodium porphyrin 409 is also an efficient catalyst for cyclopropanation of olefins with ethyl diazoacetate 87,1°°), stj bene formation from aryl diazomethanes 358 and carbene insertion into aliphatic C—H bonds 287, intermediates 418 or 419 are likely to be part of the mechanistic scheme of these reactions, too. 

A prime example of this is the crucial ease of such oxidation in the magnesium(II) complex of the chlorin system present in chlorophyll during photosynthesis. Table 8 shows the half-wave potentials for the first ring oxidation of some metalloporphyrins, the examples chosen being based on 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl porphyrin, TPP (2) and on 1,2,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin, OEP (16). 

Although the copolymerization of propylene oxide with C02 takes place effectively with organozinc additives or the (tetraphenyl) porphyrin-AlCl system [61], the copolymerization of epichlorohydrin with C02 seldom occurs with these catalysts. Shen et al. [62] showed that a rare earth metal catalyst such as the Nd(2-EP)3/AliBu3 (Al/Nd = 8) system was very effective for the copolymerization of epichlorohydrin with C02 (30-40 atm) at 60 °C (Scheme 16). The content of C02 in the copolymer reached 23-24 mol % when 1,4-dioxane was used as solvent.

The corresponding positions in the OMT spectrum are shown by Ar and A0 and correspond to the electron affinity and ionization potential of the adsorbate film modified by interaction with the supporting metal, At. The spectrum is that of nickel(II) tetraphenyl-porphyrin on Au (111). (Reprinted with permission from [26])...

A plot of kohs against DNA concentration for reaction of tetraphenyl-porphyrin-l-tryptophan-cobalt(II) with calf thymus DNA is linear k 2 x 104 M 1 s 1 at room temperature. The suggested mechanism is of rapid reversible addition of water to 5 -coordinate [Co(trp)(tpp)] followed by rate-limiting reaction of [Co(trp)(tpp)(H20)] with the DNA (285). 

Both adsorption and partition TLC have been used for the separation of tetraphenyl-porphyrin derivatives newly synthetized. The chemical structure of porphyrins are listed in Table 2.106. 

Porphyrins are also able to directly interact with the nanotube sidewalls. For example, tetraphenyl porphyrin (H2-TPP) has been reported to interact with nanotubes to form TPPs/CNTs compounds that are stable for days. Stability has been enhanced by using a micelle-assisted approach, leading to stable structures with potential applications in light harvesting devices [76].

Unlike the metal atoms in the chalcogenides discussed in the previous section, the iron atoms in iron(II) tetraphenyl porphyrins and the related iron(II) phthalocyanine generally occupy crystallographic sites with symmetry T or 1 only. The exception is the iron site in iron(II) tetraphenyl porphyrin (FeTPP), space group I42d, which has 4 symmetry.

According to [96], electrochemical methods, especially the application of cyclic voltammetry, could be a powerful tool to find suitable catalysts for NO removal from combustion products. Investigation of electrocatalytic properties of vitamin B12 toward oxidation and reduction of nitric oxide was reported in [97]. The catalytic activity of meso-tetraphenyl-porphyrin cobalt for nitric oxide oxidation in methanolic solution and in Nafion film was reported in [98]. 

Other pubKcations dealing with the catalytic ability of electrogenerated cobalt(I) species have appeared. Cob(I)alamin reacts with 1,4-dibromobutane to yield a tet-ramethylene-1,4-di-Co -cobalamin complex [138]. Alkyl radicals (which arise from the oxidative addition of cobalt(I) tetraphenyl porphyrin to an alkyl halide) have been found to migrate from the cobalt center to a nitrogen of a pyrrole ring [139].
