up-to-date progress of single fluoro-bridged dinuclear metal complexes 15. Cooperativity in Diiron(III)porphyrin Dication Diradical-Catalyzed Oxa-Diels-Alder Reactions: Spectroscopic and Mechanistic Insights S. Sarkar, P. Sarkar, D. Samanta, S. K. Pati and S. P. Rath* ACS Catal. 2022, 12, 9589-9601. Full Article
A dication diradical diiron(III) porphyrin dimer was devised as a competent catalyst for the oxa-Diels Alder (ODA) type reaction of aldehydes with 1,3-dienes. The computational studies corroborated the detailed spectroscopic investigation which bespoke of the pivotal roles played by the metal ion as the Lewis acidic centers and also enabled us to delve deeper into the reaction mechanism. The efficacy of employing such a diheme catalyst over mono heme analog is manifested in the cooperative effect which resulted in lower catalyst loading with excellent yields. 14. Counter Ion Triggers Stabilization of Two Geometrical Isomers of a Ni(II)dication Diradical Porphyrin Dimer: Role of Anion-π Interactions A. K. Pandey. M. Usman and S. P. Rath* Chem.

Two geometrical isomers (namely U and P'-forms) of nickel(II) dication diradical porphyrin dimer have been isolated selectively in pure form just by varying oxidant concentrations in the same reaction mixture. Both isomers, stabilized exclusively by anion-π interactions, have unique and very distinct electronic and spectroscopic features and display anion-induced charge/electron transfer phenomenon. 13.

Full Article
Spin coupling models are different between iron and manganese in their dication diradical complexes which reflected in their reactivity: while addition of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide to dimanganese(III) dication diradical complex quickly converts into the μ-hydroxo dimanganese(III) porphyrin-oxophlorin heterodimer, its dii-iron(III) analog remains very stable. 12. Silver(III)···Silver(III) Interaction that Stabilize the syn Form in a Porphyrin Dimer Upon Oxidation A. K. Singh, F. S. T. Khan and S. P. Rath* Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2017, 56, 8849-8854. Full Article
Meeting at the bridge: Ethane-bridged silver(III) porphyrin dimer exhibits significant metallophilic interaction that brings two porphyrin rings on top of each other with short Ag(III)···Ag(III) distance attributed to the overlap of dz2 metal orbital. The complex displays an intense emission peak at 546 nm at 77 K in the photoluminescence study. 11.

The fascinating chemistry of the oxo and hydroxo-bridged diheme centers, covalently connected through bridges varying in lengths and flexibility, has attracted much attention in recent times and a comprehensive review on their syntheses, structures and spectral properties is presented here. 10. A Highly Oxidized Cobalt Porphyrin Dimer: Spin Coupling and Stabilization of the Four-Electron Oxidation Product S. Dey, D. Sil and S. P. Rath* Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016, 55, 996-1000. Full Article
Four to be sure: The oxidation of a cobalt(II) porphyrin dimer with iodine readily produced a cobalt(III) porphyrin π-cation radical dimer. Extensive π conjugation through the ethylene bridge led to several unusual spectral and geometrical features of this four-electron oxidized complex and stabilized the singlet state by enabling strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the π-cation radicals. 9. Oxidation Triggers Extensive Conjugation and Unusual Stabilization of Two Di-heme Dication Diradical Intermediates: Role of Bridging Group for Electronic Communication D. Sil, S. Dey, A. Kumar, S. Bhowmik and S. P. Rath* Chem. Sci. 2016, 7, 1212-1223. (Edge Article) Full Article
Unlike bis-Fe(IV) state in MauG, the 2e-oxidation has stabilized two ferric hemes, each coupled with a porphyrin cation radical. The extensive π-conjugation enables the generation of a charge resonance band ~1200 nm and allows antiferromagnetic coupling between iron and porphyrin radical spins of both rings. 8. Hydrogen Bonding Interactions Trigger a Spin-Flip in Iron(III)-Porphyrin Complexes D. Sahoo, M. G. Quesne, S. P. de Visser* and S. P. Rath* Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 4796-4800. Full Article
Spin control: The electronic structure of a five-coordinate iron(III) porphinato chloride has been found to depend on the presence of hydrogen-bonding interactions, with the iron center switching reversibly between a high (S=5/2) and intermediate spin (S=3/2) state. Computational calculations clearly support the experimentally assigned spin state. 7.

Three iron(III) porphyrinato complexes have been isolated selectively just by varying iodine concentration which eventually form admixed-intermediate (iodo complex), pure intermediate (tri-iodide complex) and high-spin (1e-oxidized complex) states of iron where iodide and/or tri-iodide used as axial ligands. Computational calculations clearly support the experimentally assigned spin state. 6. Metal-coordination-driven Mixed Ligand Binding in Supramolecular Bisporphyrin Tweezers Sk. A. Ikbal, A.

A clear structural rationalization of the origin of chirality transfer from an optically active diamine guest to an achiral Zn(II)bisporphyrin host in a 1:1 and 2:3 host-guest supramolecular complex has been demonstrated for the first time. During the process, chirality inversion along with amplification was observed. 4.

Chiral diol substrate binds to Mg(II)bisporphyrin in an unusual endo-endo fashion due to inter- ligand H-bonding which eventually results in remarkably high amplitude bisignate CD signal. 3.

Control of Spins by Ring Deformation in a Diiron(III)bisporphyrin: Reversal of ClO4- and CF3SO3- Ligand Field Strength on the Magnetochemical Series. S. Bhowmik, S. K. Ghosh and S. P. Rath* Chem. Commun. 2011, 47, 4790-4792. Full Article
The complete reversal of the ligand field strength between ClO4- and CF3SO3- on the ‘magnetochemical’ series is observed in a diiron(III)bisporphyrin. While ClO4- gives typical high-spin complex, just by twisting the conformation of the macrocycle shows properties with pure intermediate-spin state with CF3SO3- although the axial ligand strengths suggest the reverse order of spin stabilization. 1.

A novel diiron(III) bisporphyrin bridged by a single hydroxo group between two Fe-centers is reported in which the Fe-O(H)-Fe angle becomes the smallest ever reported in a Fe-porphyrin and two different spin states of Fe are stabilized in a single molecular framework, for the first time, although both cores have exactly the same chemical entity. |
