Abstract
Herein, we report the first calorimetric study of the protonation of planar and nonplanar free-base porphyrins: H2OETPP (strongly saddled by its substituents), H2T(tBu)P (strongly ruffled by its substituents), and the nominally planar porphyrins (npPs) H2OEP, H2TPP, H2T(nPe)P, and H2T(iPr)P. The observed enthalpies of protonation in solution (ΔHprotsoln) for formation of the dications in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane with 2% trifluoroacetic acid are -45 ± 1 kcal mol-1 for the npPs, -52.0 kcal mol-1 for H2T(tBu)P, and -70.9 kcal mol-1 for H2OETPP. The corresponding enthalpies of protonation (ΔHDFT) obtained from DFT calculations (-27 ± 5, -42, and -63 kcal mol-1, respectively) reproduce this trend. The much more negative enthalpy of protonation seen for H2OETPP is consistent with this molecule being pre-deformed into the saddle structure favored by porphyrin dications. Except for OETPP, the calculated enthalpies of the first protonations (ΔH1) are significantly more positive than the enthalpies of the second protonations (ΔH2). In addition, the structural strain energies for the first protonations (ΔEst(1)) are also significantly more positive than ΔEst(2). According to the calculations, the monocations thus have higher proton affinities than the corresponding free-base porphyrins due to a structural strain effect, which is consistent with the generally elusive nature of the porphyrin monocation. The recent observations of monocations for free-base porphyrins with a high degree of saddling can be rationalized in terms of ΔH1 and ΔH2 being similar; so, the monocation is no longer an unstable intermediate.

Abstract
An unusual feature of free base tetraarylporphyrins (H2TArP) is the small amount of monocation (H3TArP[Formula: see text] observed during titrations with acids. This anomalous behavior has been known for over forty years and has been explained in terms of the saddle deformation of the porphyrin that occurs upon protonation. In this paper, 1H NMR spectroscopy is used to investigate the protonation of H2OETPP, an H2TArP that is pre-deformed into a highly nonplanar saddle structure by steric crowding of its peripheral substituents. The goal of our studies is to determine if the saddle structure of H2OETPP stabilizes the monocation H3OETPP[Formula: see text], and, if it does, to conduct detailed NMR studies of H3OETPP[Formula: see text]. NMR spectra clearly show the formation of H3OETPP[Formula: see text] when one equivalent of acid is added to H2OETPP in organic solvents, and for picric acid in toluene-d8 the monocation is the dominant species (~70%). Crystals of H3OETPP[Formula: see text] (picrate) suitable for X-ray crystallography could not be obtained, but the structure of H4OETPP[Formula: see text] (picrate)2 was determined. Variable temperature NMR studies of H3OETPP[Formula: see text] (picrate) reveal the presence of two dynamic processes. The first is picrate anion exchange in CD2Cl2, where the activation energy ([Formula: see text]G[Formula: see text] is calculated to be 53 kJ.mol[Formula: see text]. A second process, ND tautomerism ([Formula: see text]G[Formula: see text] 42 kJ.mol[Formula: see text] is also detected for D3OETPP[Formula: see text] at very low temperatures in toluene-d8. The much lower activation energy for ND tautomerism in D3OETPP[Formula: see text] vs. D2OETPP ([Formula: see text]G[Formula: see text] 63 kJ.mol[Formula: see text] may be due to destabilization of the ground state of the monocation due to the presence of cis interactions between the inner deuterium atoms.

Iron(III) Fluorinated Porphyrins: Greener Chemistry from Synthesis to Oxidative Catalysis Reactions. Molecules 2016; 21:481.

Abstract
Iron(III) fluorinated porphyrins play a central role in the biomimetics of heme enzymes and enable cleaner routes to the oxidation of organic compounds. The present work reports significant improvements in the eco-compatibility of the synthesis of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-pentafluorophenylporphyrin (H2TPFPP) and the corresponding iron complex [Fe(TPFPP)Cl], and the use of [Fe(TPFPP)Cl] as an oxidation catalyst in green conditions. The preparations of H2TPFPP and [Fe(TPFPP)Cl] typically use toxic solvents and can be made significantly greener and simpler using microwave heating and optimization of the reaction conditions. In the optimized procedure it was possible to eliminate nitrobenzene from the porphyrin synthesis and replace DMF by acetonitrile in the metalation reaction, concomitant with a significant reduction of reaction time and simplification of the purification procedure. The Fe(III)porphyrin is then tested as catalyst in the selective oxidation of aromatics at room temperature using a green oxidant (hydrogen peroxide) and green solvent (ethanol). Efficient epoxidation of indene and selective oxidation of 3,5-dimethylphenol and naphthalene to the corresponding quinones is observed.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones are antibiotics which act by penetrating into bacterial cells and inhibiting enzymes related to DNA replication, and metal complexes of these drugs have recently been investigated as one approach to counteracting bacterial resistance. In this work, we apply a multi-technique approach to studying the partition coefficient (Kp) for the non-fluorescent third-generation fluoroquinolone sparfloxacin or its copper-complex with lipid membrane models of Gram-negative bacteria. The techniques investigated are UV-vis absorption and (19)F NMR spectroscopies together with quenching of a fluorescent probe present in the lipids (using steady-state and time-resolved methods). (19)F NMR spectroscopy has previously been used to determine the Kp values of fluorinated drugs but in the case of sparfloxacin did not yield useful data. However, similar Kp values for sparfloxacin or its copper-complex were obtained for the absorption and fluorescence quenching methods confirming the usefulness of a multi-technique approach. The Kp values measured for sparfloxacin were significantly higher than those found for other fluoroquinolones. In addition, similar Kp values were found for sparfloxacin and copper-complex suggesting that in contrast to other fluoroquinolones hydrophobic diffusion occurs readily for both of these molecules.

Abstract
![]()
Electrochemical studies of the oxidation
of dodecasubstituted and
highly nonplanar nickel porphyrins in a noncoordinating solvent have
previously revealed the first nickel(III) porphyrin dication. Herein,
we investigate if these nonplanar porphyrins can also be used to detect
the so far unobserved copper(III) porphyrin dication. Electrochemical
studies of the oxidation of (DPP)Cu and (OETPP)Cu show three processes,
the first two of which are macrocycle-centered to give the porphyrin
dication followed by a CuII/CuIII process at
more positive potential. Support for the assignment of the CuII/CuIII process comes from the linear relationships
observed between E1/2 and the third ionization
potential of the central metal ions for iron, cobalt, nickel, and
copper complexes of (DPP)M and (OETPP)M. In addition, the oxidation
behavior of additional nonplanar nickel porphyrins is investigated
in a noncoordinating solvent, with nickel meso-tetraalkylporphyrins
also being found to form nickel(III) porphyrin dications. Finally,
examination of the nickel meso-tetraalkylporphyrins
in a coordinating solvent (pyridine) reveals that the first oxidation
becomes metal-centered under these conditions, as was previously noted
for a range of nominally planar porphyrins. A series of nickel(II) meso-tetraalkylporphyrins
was electrochemically investigated along with nickel(II) and copper(II)
derivatives of dodecaphenylporphyrin and octaethyltetraphenylporphyrin.
Each investigated porphyrin exhibits three oxidations, the first two
of which are macrocycle-centered to give the porphyrin dication followed
by an MII/MIII process at more positive potentials.

Steric bulkiness of pyrrole substituents and the out-of-plane deformations of porphyrins: nickel(II) octaisopropylporphyrin and its meso-nitro derivative. J PORPHYR PHTHALOCYA 2012.

Abstract
Sterically bulky substituents at the β-carbons of the pyrrole rings of porphyrins are sufficient to cause large out-of-plane porphyrin distortions even in the absence of substituent groups at the meso carbons. It is well established that substituents at the meso-positions only or at both the β-pyrrole and the meso-positions are sufficiently bulky to result in large non-planar distortions of the macrocycle. However, no systematic studies of the effects of bulky β-pyrrole substituents alone have been reported. Herein, molecular simulations and X-ray crystallography of nickel(II) 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octa(isopropyl)porphyrin reveal that large out-of-plane distortions (>1.5 Å) are induced by the steric repulsion of the β-isopropyl groups but fail to lead to a single strongly energetically favored conformer. The molecular simulations indicate that multiple conformers differing in the orientation of the isopropyl groups and the macrocycle conformation coexist in solution and this is confirmed by resonance Raman spectroscopy. Large downshifts in the structure-sensitive lines result from the non-planar distortion, and line broadenings result from structural heterogeneity. The heterogeneity originates from tradeoffs between energy contributions from steric repulsion and macrocycle distortion. Simulations for 5-nitro-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octa(isopropyl)porphyrin suggest two possible orientations of the nitro group with respect to the macrocycle mean plane — one nearly vertical (as in the crystal structure) and another that is nearly parallel. INDO/S semiempirical calculations indicate an orbital of the NO2 group resides between the porphyrin frontier orbitals with significant mixing of the nitro and porphyrin orbitals.KEYWORDS: porphyrin, non-planar, resonance Raman, X-ray crystallography, crystal structure, isopropyl, nitro, conformer, molecular mechanics, molecular simulations, density functional theory, steric crowding, conformational heterogeneity.

Abstract
Crystalline solids self-assembled from anionic and cationic porphyrins provide a new class of multifunctional optoelectronic micro- and nanomaterials. A 1 : 1 combination of zinc(II) tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (ZnTPPS) and tin(IV) tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridiniumyl)porphyrin (SnTNMePyP) gives porphyrin nanosheets with high aspect ratios and varying thickness. The room temperature preparation of the nanosheets has provided the first X-ray crystal structure of a cooperative binary ionic (CBI) solid. The unit cell contains one and one-half molecules of aquo-ZnTPPS(4-) (an electron donor) and three half molecules of dihydroxy-SnTNMePyP(4+) (an electron acceptor). Charge balance in the solid is reached without any non-porphyrinic ions, as previously determined for other CBI nanomaterials by non-crystallographic means. The crystal structure reveals a complicated molecular arrangement with slipped π-π stacking only occurring in isolated dimers of one of the symmetrically unique zinc porphyrins. Consistent with the crystal structure, UV-visible J-aggregate bands indicative of exciton delocalization and extended π-π stacking are not observed. XRD measurements show that the structure of the Zn/Sn nanosheets is distinct from that of Zn/Sn four-leaf clover-like CBI solids reported previously. In contrast with the Zn/Sn clovers that do exhibit J-aggregate bands and are photoconductive, the nanosheets are not photoconductive. Even so, the nanosheets act as light-harvesting structures in an artificial photosynthesis system capable of reducing water to hydrogen but not as efficiently as the Zn/Sn clovers.

Abstract
Porphyrin nanotubes were formed by the ionic self-assembly of tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin diacid (H(4)TPPS(4)(2-)) and Sn(IV) tetra(4-pyridyl) porphyrin (Sn(OH(-))(X)TPyP(4+/5+) [X = OH(-) or H(2)O]) at pH 2.0. As reported previously, the tubes are hollow as revealed by transmission electron microscopy, approximately 60 nm in diameter, and can be up to several micrometres long. The absorption spectrum of the porphyrin nanotubes presents monomer-like Soret bands, as well as two additional red-shifted bands characteristic of porphyrin J-aggregates (offset face-to-face stacks). To elucidate the origin of the J-aggregate bands and the internal interactions of the porphyrins, the resonance Raman spectra have been obtained for the porphyrin nanotubes with excitations near resonance with the Soret J-aggregate band and the monomer-like bands. The resonance Raman data reveal that the Sn porphyrins are not electronically coupled to the J-aggregates within the tubes, which are formed exclusively by H(4)TPPS(4)(2-). This suggests that the internal structure of the nanotubes has H(4)TPPS(4)(2-) in aggregates that are similar to the widely studied H(4)TPPS(4)(2-) self-aggregates and that are segregated from the Sn porphyrins. Possible internal structures of the nanotubes and mechanisms for their formation are discussed.

Abstract
Under electron-beam irradiation, dendritic platinum nanosheets structurally evolve into metastable "holey" nanosheets. Monte Carlo simulations of this structural transformation agree well with electron microscope images detailing the ripening process. The experiments and simulations show that nanoscale holes of a critical size are persistent and give holey sheets their morphological stability and sustained high surface area. Platinum nanostructures composed of these holey nanosheets exhibit improved durability in electrocatalytic reactions due to their remarkable ripening resistance.

Abstract
Nanoscale metal shells have many potential uses and in some applications offer significant advantages over nanoparticles. The synthesis of platinum nanoshells using stabilized nanodroplets of benzene in water as growth templates is described; the nanodroplets are stabilized by a surfactant-like tin(IV)-porphyrin complex localized at the benzene-water interface. The porphyrin also acts as a photocatalyst that reduces the platinum complex and deposits metal onto the nanodroplets to form dendritic metal nanoshells. Below the solubility limit of benzene in water, the lipoporphyrin-stabilized nanodroplets have a reproducible number, size distribution, and surface area, which allows the thickness of the platinum shell walls to be controlled by changing the amount of platinum complex. Nanoscale platinum shells with magnetic interiors can be made by dispersing Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the benzene nanodroplets.

Abstract
We have correlated the Raman intensities of out-of-plane modes of nickel porphyrins with the nonplanar deformations of specific symmetries, i.e., static normal coordinate deformations (SNCDs) expressed in terms of irreducible representations of the unperturbed D(4h) point group. The model porphyrins Ni(II) octaethyltetraphenylporphyrin (NiOETPP), Ni(II) tetra(isopropyl)porphyrin (NiT((i)Pr)P), Ni(II) tetra(tert-butyl)porphyrin (NiT((t)Bu)P), and Ni(II) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (NiTPP) were chosen because they exhibit significant out-of-plane deformations of different symmetries. At B-band excitation, the Raman scattering of out-of-plane modes becomes activated mostly via the Franck-Condon mechanism. Some characteristic bands from out-of-plane modes in the spectra were identified as reliable predictors of the type and magnitude of out-of-plane deformation. The gamma(10)-gamma(13) bands are indicators of ruffling (B(1u)) deformations for porphyrins, as confirmed by data for NiTPP, NiT((i)Pr)P, and NiT((t)Bu)P, where the Raman intensity increases with the magnitude of the ruffling deformation. The gamma(15)-gamma(17) bands are indicators of saddling (B(2u)) deformations, as shown by data for NiOETPP, which is highly saddled. By comparing the relative intensities of these prominent Raman bands we estimated the vibronic coupling parameters using a self-consistent analysis, and showed that they reproduce the respective B-band absorption profiles. We also identified the deformations along the lowest wavenumber normal coordinates as the predominant reason for the Raman activity of out-of-plane modes. Our results suggest that some of the normal coordinates (gamma(10) and gamma(13)) may be used as tools to quantitatively probe the nonplanar deformations of metalloporphyrins with alkyl substituents at the meso-positions. Out-of-plane deformations also increase the vibronic coupling strength of some low frequency in-plane Raman modes, namely, nu(7) and nu(8). Generally, the Raman data suggest that the excited B-state is substantially more nonplanar than the ground state. The overall larger vibronic coupling of ruffled porphyrins yields substantially larger dipole strengths for the vibronic sidebands associated with the B-state transition, so that the relative absorptivity of the B(v) band can be used as a convenient tool to probe the nonplanarity of the porphyrin macrocycle.

Abstract
The authors use ab initio molecular dynamics and the density functional theory+U (DFT+U) method to compute the hydration environment of the manganese ion in manganese (II) and manganese (III) porphines (MnP) dispersed in liquid water. These are intended as simple models for more complex water soluble porphyrins, which have important physiological and electrochemical applications. The manganese ion in Mn(II)P exhibits significant out-of-porphine plane displacement and binds strongly to a single H2O molecule in liquid water. The Mn in Mn(III)P is on average coplanar with the porphine plane and forms a stable complex with two H2O molecules. The residence times of these water molecules exceed 15 ps. The DFT+U method correctly predicts that water displaces NO from Mn(III)P-NO, but yields an ambiguous spin state for the MnP(II)-NO complex.

Abstract
We apply density functional theory (DFT) and the DFT+U technique to study the adsorption of transition metal porphine molecules on atomistically flat Au(111) surfaces. DFT calculations using the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof exchange correlation functional correctly predict the palladium porphine (PdP) low-spin ground state. PdP is found to adsorb preferentially on gold in a flat geometry, not in an edgewise geometry, in qualitative agreement with experiments on substituted porphyrins. It exhibits no covalent bonding to Au(111), and the binding energy is a small fraction of an electronvolt. The DFT+U technique, parametrized to B3LYP-predicted spin state ordering of the Mn d-electrons, is found to be crucial for reproducing the correct magnetic moment and geometry of the isolated manganese porphine (MnP) molecule. Adsorption of Mn(II)P on Au(111) substantially alters the Mn ion spin state. Its interaction with the gold substrate is stronger and more site-specific than that of PdP. The binding can be partially reversed by applying an electric potential, which leads to significant changes in the electronic and magnetic properties of adsorbed MnP and approximately 0.1 A changes in the Mn-nitrogen distances within the porphine macrocycle. We conjecture that this DFT+U approach may be a useful general method for modeling first-row transition metal ion complexes in a condensed-matter setting.

Abstract
The effects of ruffling on the axial ligation properties of a series of nickel(II) tetra(alkyl)porphyrins have been investigated with UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, resonance Raman spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, classical molecular mechanics calculations, and normal-coordinate structural decomposition analysis. For the modestly nonplanar porphyrins, porphyrin ruffling is found to cause a decrease in binding affinity for pyrrolidine and piperidine, mainly caused by a decrease in the binding constant for addition of the first axial ligand; ligand binding is completely inhibited for the more nonplanar porphyrins. The lowered affinity, resulting from the large energies required to expand the core and flatten the porphyrin to accommodate the large high-spin nickel(II) ion, has implications for nickel porphyrin-based molecular devices and the function of heme proteins and methyl-coenzyme M reductase.

Abstract
Porphyrin nanotubes represent a new class of nanostructures for which the molecular building blocks can be altered to control their structural and functional properties. Nanotubes containing tin(IV) porphyrins are photocatalytically active and can reduce metal ions from aqueous solution. The metal is deposited selectively onto tube surfaces, producing novel composite nanostructures that have potential applications as nanodevices. Two examples presented here are nanotubes with a continuous gold wire in the core and a gold ball at the end and nanotubes coated with platinum nanoparticles mainly on their outer surfaces. The latter are capable of photocatalytic reduction of water to hydrogen.

Abstract
Seeding and autocatalytic reduction of platinum salts in aqueous surfactant solution using ascorbic acid as the reductant leads to remarkable dendritic metal nanostructures. In micellar surfactant solutions, spherical dendritic metal nanostructures are obtained, and the smallest of these nanodendrites resemble assemblies of joined nanoparticles and the nanodendrites are single crystals. With liposomes as the template, dendritic platinum sheets in the form of thin circular disks or solid foamlike nanomaterials can be made. Synthetic control over the morphology of these nanodendrites, nanosheets, and nanostructured foams is realized by using a tin-porphyrin photocatalyst to conveniently and effectively produce a large initial population of catalytic growth centers. The concentration of seed particles determines the ultimate average size and uniformity of these novel two- and three-dimensional platinum nanostructures.

Abstract
The ground- and excited-state metal-ligand dynamics of nonplanar nickel(II) 2,3,5,7,8,10,12,13,15,17,18,20-dodecaphenylporphyrin (NiDPP) and two fluorinated analogues (NiF(20)DPP and NiF(28)DPP) have been investigated using static and time-resolved absorption spectroscopy in toluene and in ligating media that differ in basicity, aromaticity, and steric encumbrance. Because of the electronic and steric consequences of nonplanarity, NiDPP does not bind axial ligands in the ground state, but metal coordination does occur after photoexcitation with multistep dynamics that depend on the properties of the ligand. Following the structural relaxations that occur in all nickel porphyrins within approximately 10 ps, ligand binding to photoexcited NiDPP is progressively longer in pyridine, piperidine, and 3,5-lutidine (25-100 ps) but does not occur at all in 2,6-lutidine in which the ligating nitrogen is sterically encumbered. The transient intermediate that is formed, which nominally could be either a five- or six-coordinate species, also has a ligand-dependent lifetime (200-550 ps). Decay of this intermediate occurs partially via ligand release to re-form the uncoordinated species, in competition with binding of the second axial ligand and/or conformational/electronic relaxations (of a six-coordinate intermediate) to give the ground state of the bis-ligated photoproduct. The finding that the photoproduct channel principally depends on ligand characteristics along with the time-evolving spectra suggests that the transient intermediate may involve a five-coordinate species. In contrast to NiDPP, the fluorinated analogues NiF(20)DPP and NiF(28)DPP do coordinate axial ligands in the ground state but eject them after photoexcitation. Collectively, these results demonstrate the sensitivity with which the electronic and structural characteristics of the macrocycle, substituents, and solvent (ligands) can govern the photophysical and photochemical properties of nonplanar porphyrins and open new avenues for exploring photoinduced ligand association and dissociation behavior.

Abstract
Previous studies of 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrins have shown that the barrier for meso aryl-porphyrin rotation (DeltaG++(ROT)) varies as a function of the core substituent M and is lower for a small metal (M = Ni) compared to a large metal (M = Zn) and for a dication (M = 4H(2+)) versus a free base porphyrin (M = 2H). This has been attributed to changes in the nonplanar distortion of the porphyrin ring and the deformability of the macrocycle caused by the core substituent. In the present work, X-ray crystallography, molecular mechanics (MM) calculations, and variable temperature (VT) (1)H NMR spectroscopy are used to examine the relationship between the aryl-porphyrin rotational barrier and the core substituent M in some novel 2,3,5,7,8,10,12,13,15,17,18,20-dodecaarylporphyrins (DArPs), and specifically in some 5,10,15,20-tetraaryl-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaphenylporphyrins (TArOPPs), where steric crowding of the peripheral groups always results in a very nonplanar macrocycle. X-ray structures of DArPs indicate differences in the nonplanar conformation of the macrocycle as a function of M, with saddle conformations being observed for M = Zn, 2H or M = 4H(2+) and saddle and/or ruffle conformations for M = Ni. VT NMR studies show that the effect of protonation in the TArOPPs is to increase DeltaG++(ROT), which is the opposite of the effect seen for the TArPs, and MM calculations also predict a strikingly high barrier for the TArOPPs when M = 4H(2+). These and other findings suggest that the aryl-porphyrin rotational barriers in the DArPs are closely linked to the deformability of the macrocycle along a nonplanar distortion mode which moves the substituent being rotated out of the porphyrin plane.

Origin of the red shifts in the optical absorption bands of nonplanar tetraalkylporphyrins. J Am Chem Soc 2003; 125:1253-68.

Abstract
The view that the large red shifts seen in the UV-visible absorption bands of peripherally crowded nonplanar porphyrins are the result of nonplanar deformations of the macrocycle has recently been challenged by the suggestion that the red shifts arise from substituent-induced changes in the macrocycle bond lengths and bond angles, termed in-plane nuclear reorganization (IPNR). We have analyzed the contributions to the UV-visible band shifts in a series of nickel or zinc meso-tetraalkylporphyrins to establish the origins of the red shifts in these ruffled porphyrins. Structures were obtained using a molecular mechanics force field optimized for porphyrins, and the nonplanar deformations were quantified by using normal-coordinate structural decomposition (NSD). Transition energies were calculated by the INDO/S semiempirical method. These computational studies demonstrate conclusively that the large Soret band red shifts ( approximately 40 nm) seen for very nonplanar meso-tetra(tert-butyl)porphyrin compared to meso-tetra(methyl)porphyrin are primarily the result of nonplanar deformations and not IPNR. Strikingly, nonplanar deformations along the high-frequency 2B(1u) and 3B(1u) normal coordinates of the macrocycle are shown to contribute significantly to the observed red shifts, even though these deformations are an order of magnitude smaller than the observed ruffling (1B(1u)) deformation. Other structural and electronic influences on the UV-visible band shifts are discussed and problems with the recent studies are examined (e.g., the systematic underestimation of the 2B(1u) and 3B(1u) modes in artificially constrained porphyrin structures that leads to a mistaken attribution of the red shift to IPNR). The effect of nonplanar deformations on the UV-visible absorption bands is then probed experimentally with a series of novel bridled nickel chiroporphyrins. In these compounds, the substituent effect is essentially invariant and the amount of nonplanar deformation decreases as the length of the straps connecting adjacent meso-cyclopropyl substituents decreases (the opposite of the effect observed for conventional strapped porphyrins). Several spectroscopic markers for nonplanarity (UV-visible bands, resonance Raman lines, and (1)H NMR resonances) are found to correlate with time-averaged deformations obtained from an NSD analysis of molecular dynamics snapshot structures. These results suggest that UV-visible band shifts of tetrapyrroles in proteins are potentially useful indicators of changes in nonplanarity provided other structural and electronic factors can be eliminated.

Abstract
With the aim of better understanding the electronic and structural factors which govern electron-transfer processes in porphyrins, the electrochemistry of 29 nickel(II) porphyrins has been examined in dichloromethane containing either 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) or tetra-n-butylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF(6)) as supporting electrolyte. Half-wave potentials for the first oxidation and first reduction are only weakly dependent on the supporting electrolyte, but E(1/2) for the second oxidation varies considerably with the type of supporting electrolyte. E(1/2) values for the first reduction to give a porphyrin pi-anion radical are effected in large part by the electronic properties of the porphyrin macrocycle substituents, while half-wave potentials for the first oxidation to give a pi-cation radical are affected by the substituents as well as by nonplanar deformations of the porphyrin macrocycle. The potential difference between the first and second oxidations (Delta/Ox(2) - Ox(1)/) is highly variable among the 29 investigated compounds and ranges from 0 mV (two overlapped oxidations) to 460 mV depending on the macrocycle substituents and the anion of the supporting electrolyte. The magnitude of Delta/Ox(2) - Ox(1)/ is generally smaller for compounds with very electron-withdrawing substituents and when TBAP is used as the supporting electrolyte. This behavior is best explained in terms of differences in the binding strengths of anions from the supporting electrolyte (ClO(4)(-) or PF(6)(-)) to the doubly oxidized species. A closer analysis suggests two factors which are important in modulating Delta/Ox(2) - Ox(1)/ and thus the binding affinity of the anion to the porphyrin dication. One is the type of pi-cation radical (a proxy for the charge distribution in the dication), and the other is the conformation of the porphyrin macrocycle (either planar or nonplanar). These findings imply that the redox behavior of porphyrins can be selectively tuned to display separate or overlapped oxidation processes.

Abstract
Three bis-axially ligated complexes of iron(III) octaethyltetraphenylporphyrin, (OETPP)Fe(III), have been prepared, which are low-spin complexes, each with two axial nitrogen-donor ligands (N-methylimidazole (N-MeIm), 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (4-NMe(2)Py), and 2-methylimidazole (2-MeImH)). The crystal and molecular structure of the bis-(2-MeImH) complex shows the macrocycle to be in a saddled conformation, with the ligands in perpendicular planes aligned at 14 degrees to the porphyrin nitrogens so as to relieve the steric interaction between the 2-methyl groups and the porphyrin. The Fe-N(por) bond lengths are typical of nonplanar six-coordinate low-spin Fe(III) complexes, while the axial Fe-N(ax) bond lengths are substantially longer than those of [(TPP)Fe(2-MeImH)(2)](+) (2.09(2) A as compared to 2.015(4) and 2.010(4) A). The crystal and molecular structure of the bis-(4-NMe(2)Py) complex also shows the macrocycle to be in a mainly saddled conformation, but with a significant ruffled component. As a result, the average Fe-N(por) bonds are significantly shorter (1.951 A as compared to 1.974 A) than those of the bis-(2-MeImH) complex. One ligand is aligned at 9 degrees to two trans porphyrin nitrogens, while the other is at 79 degrees to the same porphyrin nitrogens, producing a dihedral angle of 70 degrees between the ligand planes. The EPR spectrum of this complex, like that of the bis-(2-MeImH) complex, is of the "large g(max)" type, with g(max) = 3.29 and 3.26, respectively. However, in frozen CD(2)Cl(2), [(OETPP)Fe(N-MeIm)(2)](+) exhibits both "large g(max)" and normal rhombic signals, suggesting the presence of both "perpendicular" and "parallel" ligand orientations. The 1- and 2D (1)H NMR spectra of each of these complexes, as well as the chloroiron(III) starting material, were investigated as a function of temperature. The COSY and NOESY/EXSY spectra of the chloride complex are consistent with the expected J-coupling and saddle inversion dynamics, respectively. Complete spectral assignments for the bis-(N-MeIm) and -(4-NMe(2)Py) complexes have been made using 2D (1)H NMR techniques. In each case, the number of resonances due to methylene (two) and phenyl protons (one each) is consistent with D(2)(d)() symmetry, and therefore an effective perpendicular orientation of the axial ligands on the time scale of the NMR experiments. The temperature dependences of the (1)H resonances of these complexes show significant deviations from Curie behavior, and also evidence of extensive ligand exchange and rotation. Spectral assignment of the eight methylene resonances of the bis-(2-MeImH) complex to the four ethyl groups was possible through the use of 2D (1)H NMR techniques. The complex is fluxional, even at -90 degrees C, and ROESY data suggest that the predominant process is saddle inversion accompanied by simultaneous rotation of the axial ligands. Saddle inversion becomes slow on the 2D NMR time scale as the temperature is lowered in the ligand order of N-MeIm > 4-NMe(2)Py > 2-MeImH, probably due mainly to progressive destabilization of the ground state rather than progressive stabilization of the transition state of the increasingly "hindered" bis-ligand complexes.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents upon the reaction of porphyrins with osmium tetraoxide, and the pinacol-pinacolone rearrangement of the resulting diols, a series of meso-substituted porphyrins were prepared by total synthesis. Porphyrins with electron-donating substitutents at the meso-positions gave vic-dihydroxychlorins in which the adjacent pyrrole subunit was predominantly oxidized. No such selectivity was observed in a porphyrin containing a methoxycarbonyl as the electron-withdrawing group, whereas a formyl substituent again resulted in oxidation at the pyrrole unit adjacent to the meso-substituent. Under pinacol-pinacolone conditions, vic-dihydroxy chlorins containing 4-methoxyphenyl or 3,5-dimethoxyphenyl groups at the meso-position showed preferential migration of the ethyl group over the methyl group to give 8-ketochlorins, whereas the diol with an n-heptyl substituent under similar reaction conditions gave both 7- and 8-ketochlorins. In contrast, the diol containing a meso-formyl substituent produced the corresponding 7-ketochlorin exclusively. These results indicate that it is not possible to predict the reactivity of meso-substituted porphyrins in the osmium tetraoxide reaction nor the general substituent migratory aptitudes in the pinacol-pinacolone rearrangement based on simple electronic arguments, most likely because many parameters (e.g., meso-beta-pyrrolic steric crowding and long-range electronic effects) ultimately determine the reactivity. The structural assignments of the porphyrin diols and the keto-analogues were confirmed by extensive (1)H NMR studies; some of the dihydroxychlorins and ketochlorins were found to display unusual features in their (1)H NMR spectra.
