Coordination properties of μ-carbidodimeric iron(IV) 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octapropyltetraazaporphyrinate and 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinate in reactions with nitrogen-containing bases

Abstract

The equilibria of μ-carbidodimeric iron(IV) 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octapropyltetraazaporphyrinate and 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinate in reactions with nitrogen-containing bases in an inert solvent were studied spectrophotometrically. The equilibrium constants of the studied processes and the compositions of molecular complexes were determined. The effect of the electronic and conformation factors of a macrocycle and the nature of the base on the equilibrium constant was pointed out. A comparative analysis of the substrate specificity of the studied compounds was performed.
