Synthesis, Characterization and EPR Studies of Supramolecular Porphyrazines

DFT calculations and experimental FT-IR, dispersive-Raman and EPR spectral studies of Copper (II) chloride complex with 3-amino-1-methylbenzene

In this study, we present the synthesis and the characterization of Copper (II) chloride complex with 3-amino-1-methylbenzene (3A1MB). This complex was characterized by vibrational and EPR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. The molecular structure and spectrometry of this complex: Cu(3A1MB)2Cl2 and its ligand: 3A1MB have been investigated theoretically by performing DFT/B3LYP calculations. Cu(3A1MB)2Cl2 has been optimized as two conformers and the more stable conformer is determined. The optimized geometries and calculated vibrational frequencies have been evaluated via comparison with experimental values, and the normal modes were assigned on the basis of the percent potential energy distribution (PED). A good agreement between calculated and experimental data is observed.

Boronic esters of a porphyrazine and its precursor

Phenylboronic acid esters of an unsaturated precursor 1,2-dicyano-1,2-bis(2-hydroxy- ethylthio)ethylene and the magnesium porphyrazine derived from it have been prepared either by refluxing a mixture of the reagents in chloroform in the presence of molecular sieve or by solvent-free heating in an oven under reduced pressure. The two novel compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis together with ultraviolet-visible, infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance, boron-11 nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra.

Tetranuclear supramolecular structures containing phthalocyanine cores

A metal-free phthalocyanine with four pyridyl donor groups, bound through ethylthio ester bridges on the periphery, have been prepared. The pyridine donors were quaternized with iodomethane to a water-soluble tetracationic phthalocyanine. The tetranuclear supramolecular phthalocyanine was prepared by the coordination of peripheral pyridine donors with VO(acac)2. The paramagnetic tetranuclear structure was studied in powder and solution forms by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique. Electron paramagnetic resonance studies, together with the other spectral data confirmed the presence of identical pyridine-coordinated VO(acac)2 paramagnetic centers attached to the peripheral positions of the phthalocyanine core. The X-band EPR signals recorded from powder and solution forms of supramolecules have a characteristic line shape that proves the presence of axial symmetry around the paramagnetic vanadium ions. The anisotropic Lande splitting factors were calculated as g ∥ < g ⊥ < g e = 2.0023. Orbital energy levels for magnetic electrons were determined from theoretically fitted Spin Hamiltonian parameters.

Oxovanadium(IV) complexes of bromo-and methoxy substituted N1,N4-diarylidene-S-methylthiosemicarbazones

Four new oxovanadium(IV) compounds were prepared by template reaction of salicyl-, 5-bromosalicyl-and 3-methoxysalicyl-aldehyde S-methylthiosemicarbazones with 2-hydroxy-, 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-and 3-methoxy-2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde in various combinations. The compounds were isolated as stable solid compounds with general formula [VO(L)] and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity and magnetic measurements, electronic, IR and EPR spectroscopy. The X-band EPR signals recorded from powder forms of all samples have a single asymmetric line shape and theoretical fit studies proved the presence of axial symmetry around the paramagnetic vanadium ions. The anisotropic Lande splitting factors take values of g‖ < g⊥ < ge = 2.0023. Orbital energy levels for magnetic electrons were determined from theoretically well fitted Spin Hamiltonian parameters. The EPR spectra recorded from solution forms almost have isotropic character.
