    Synthesis and characterization of halogeno- and pseudo-halogeno-thallium(III) porphyrin complexes. Variation of the co-ordination geometry as a function of the axial ligand

    Several thallium(III) porphyrin complexes [Tl(por)X] with the axial ligand X = MeCO2, CF3CO2, Cl, Br, I, CN, SCN or N3, have been obtained via ligand-exchange reactions from the corresponding thallium(III) trifluoroacetates. All compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, UV/VIS spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Fourteen compounds were investigated in detail by X-ray crystallography to obtain information on the influence of the axial ligand on the macrocycle core conformation in main-group metalloporphyrins and to establish the molecular stereochemistry of thallium(III) porphyrins with cyano, acetato, thiocyanato, bromo, iodo and azido groups as axial ligands

    Crystal structure analyses of (rhodochlorinato-15-acetic trimethyl ester)copper(II) 3 and (31,32-didehydro-rhodochlorinato-15-formic acid trimethyl ester)copper(II) 4 reveal intriguing multiple macrocycle conformations of the metallochlorins in the crystal. The observed conformations range from almost planar macrocycles to distorted macrocycles with individual atoms being displaced up to 0.72 A from the mean plane. The nonplanar macrocycles show a S4-ruttled macrocycle distortion with significant distortions for the weso-carbons and tilting of the Cb–Cb axes. A comparison with the related free base porphyrins rhodoporphyrin-15-acetic acid trimethyl ester 5 and rhodoporphyrin dimethyl ester 6 shows that the conformational distortion is due to the mixing of metal and substituent effects, hydroporphyrin character, and packing forces.
