Preparations of Core HO-Bound 5, 10, 15, 20-Tetrakis-4-chlorophenyl Porphyrin, , and -Methylation of Phenol and Its -Substituted Analogues.

The treatment of a dichloromethane solution of 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis-4-chlorophenyl porphyrin, , with methanolic solutions of each of phenol, -amino phenol, and -nitro phenol for just 1 h results in the formation of water-molecule-bound amorphous solids of . In addition to the straightforward access to the HO-molecule-coordinated species of thus produced, the another chief advantage of this synthetic strategy is the successful recoveries of anisole, -amino anisole, and -nitro anisole at the end of the reactions. The present work therefore further reports the use of as an efficient catalyst for the selective -methylation of phenols using methanol as an environmentally friendly methylating agent.

Synthesis and bioactivity of oxovanadium(IV)tetra(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrinsalicylates.

Herein, we report the synthesis of metal complexes of vanadium with heterocyclic tetradentate ligand. Four N atoms of the heterocyclic porphyrin ring occupy the equatorial position and O atom of salicylic acid occupies the axial position in the complex. The thermal and chemical stability of the complexes were assessed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Synthesis and Spectroscopic and Biological Activities of Zn(II) Porphyrin with Oxygen Donors.

Results of investigation of the physicochemical properties of zinc complexes containing substituted phenols as axial ligand having general formula [X-Zn-t(p-CH3) PP] [where X = different phenolates as axial ligand] in impurity-free organic solvent are presented. The four-coordinated zinc porphyrin accepts one axial ligand in 1 : 1 molar ratio to form five-coordinated complex, which is purified by column chromatography and characterized by physicochemical, biological evaluation and TGA/DTA studies. Absorption spectra show two principal effects: a red shift for phenols bearing substituted electron releasing groups (-CH3, -NH2) and blue shift for phenols bearing electron withdrawing groups (-NO2, -Cl) relative to Zn-t(p-CH3) PP, respectively.
