Abstract

A new route is developed for the synthesis of molybdenum and tungsten porphyrins using [M(NO)(2)py(2)Cl(2)] (M = Mo, W) as the metal source and TPP (dianion of 5,10,15,20-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin) in the benzoic acid melt. Complexes [Mo(V)O(TPP)(OOCPh)] (1) and [W(V)O(TPP)(OOCPh)] (2) are isolated in almost quantitative yield. These are characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis, electron paramagnetic resonance, electronic and IR spectroscopy, and magnetic moment measurements. Benzenethiol substitutes for PhCOO(-) in 1, forming an intermediate thiolato complex that responds to the intramolecular redox reaction across the Mo(V)-SPh bond to yield [Mo(IV)O(TPP)] (3). Under an excess of benzenethiol, PhS(-) is coordinated to the vacant site in 3, which under aerial oxidation is oxidized to benzenesulfonate to form [Mo(V)O(TPP)(O(3)SPh)] (4). 2 undergoes similar aerial oxidation chemistry albeit slowly.
