Coordination properties of molecular and anionic forms of 5,10,15,20,21-pentaphenyl-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin in acetonitrile

Abstract

Acid and coordination properties of 5,10,15,20,21-pentaphenyl-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphine in 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene–acetonitrile system at 298 K have been studied by spectrophotometric titration. It has been found that titration causes deprotonation of nitrogen atom of the pyrrole ring to produce monodeprotonated form. Acid dissociation constant of the compound in 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene–acetonitrile system at 298 K has been determined. Complexation of molecular and deprotonated forms of the ligand with silver nitrate has been studied, kinetic parameters of the corresponding reactions have been obtained. Kinetics of silver complexation with the studied ligand by ionic and molecular mechanism has been analyzed.
