Systematic variation of metal-metal bond order in metalloporphyrin dimers.

چکیده
A general method for synthesizing a novel class of metalloporphyrin dimers containing unbridged metal-metal bonds is presented. By choosing the appropriate metal, the bond order in these dimers can be varied systematically. The synthesis and characterization of osmium(II) and molybdenum(II) porphyrin dimers containing the respective metal-metal double and quadruple bonds are described. A simple molecular orbital treatment that accounts for the metal-metal bonding, spin state, and geometry in these complexes is discussed.

Action of Alkyl Halides on Homo- and Hetero- Porphyrin Dimers Involving a Rhodium-indium Bond, Producing Porphyrin Complexes Containing Metal-carbon and Metal-halide Bonds
The reactivity of the novel family of metalloporphyrin dimers containing a Rh-In bond towards alkyl halides is presented. The chemical reactivity of the homoleptic (same porphyrin ligand) and heteroleptic (different porphyrin ligand) porphyrin complexes with Rh-In metal-metal bond has been examined by photoand thermal-processes in the presence of alkyl halides under anaerobic conditions in the ...
متن کاملCyclic metalloporphyrin dimers and tetramers: tunable shape-selective hosts for fullerenes.
Covalently linked cyclic metalloporphyrin dimers and tetramers have been demonstrated to be good shape-selective hosts for fullerene guests. The fullerene affinities of these hosts can readily be tuned by modulating the covalent linkage and the metal ions in the porphyrin subunits. A rigid Zn(porphyrin) dimer with conjugated bis(alkynyl) linkers exhibits a high selectivity towards C(70) over C(...
متن کاملMetalloporphyrin Photochemistry with Matrix Isolation
The photochemistry of a number of metalloporphyrin oxoanion complexes has been examined by matrix isolation techniques, using both frozen solvent glasses and polymer films. After an extensive search for a noncoordinating, unreactive, glassing solvent, a 3: 1 mixture of 2,2-dimethylbutane and tert-butylbenzene was found to work well at temperatures below 70 K. Alternatively, the photochemistry o...
متن کاملAssessment of DFT Functionals in Predicting Bond Length and Atomization Energy of Catalytically Important Metal Dimers
In the present investigation, the results of extensive benchmarking study of density functional theory (DFT) methods on some catalytically important metal dimers have been reported. The calculations were carried out on Al2, Ti2, V2, Cr2, Mn2, Fe2, Co2, Ni2, Cu2, and Zn2 using DFT functionals such as GGA, meta GGA, hybrid meta GGA along with recently developed Minnesota functionals. The bond len...
متن کاملRelevance of Orbital Interactions and Pauli Repulsion in the Metal–Metal Bond of Coinage Metals
The importance of relativity and dispersion in metallophilicity has been discussed in numerous studies. The existence of hybridization in the bonding between closed shell d10-d10 metal atoms has also been speculated, but the presence of attractive MO interaction in the metal-metal bond is still a matter of an ongoing debate. In this comparative study, a quantitative molecular orbital analysis a...
