First Examples of -Metal Complexes with Subporphyrazine and Its Phenylene-Annulated Derivatives: DFT Calculations.

Using quantum chemical calculation data obtained by the DFT method with the B3PW91/TZVP and M062X/def2TZVP theory levels, the possibility of the existence of four Be(II) coordination compounds, each of which contains in the inner coordination sphere and the double deprotonated forms of subporphyrazine (H), mono[benzo]subporphyrazine (H), di[benzo]subporphyrazine (H), and tri[benzo]subporphyrazine (subphthalocyanine) (H) with a ratio Be(II) ion/ligand = 1:1, were examined Selected geometric parameters of the molecular structures of these (666)macrotricyclic complexes with closed contours are given; it was noted that BeN3 chelate nodes have a trigonal-pyramidal structure and exhibit a very significant (almost 30°) deviation from coplanarity; however, all three 6-membered metal-chelate and three 5-membered non-chelate rings in each of these compounds are practically planar and deviate from coplanarity by no more than 2.5°. The bond angles between two nitrogen atoms and a Be atom are equal to 60° (in the [Be] and [Be]) or less by no more than 0.5° (in the [Be] and [Be]). The presence of annulated benzo groups has little effect on the parameters of the molecular structures of these complexes. Good agreement between the structural data obtained using the above two versions of the DFT method was noticed. NBO analysis data for these complexes are presented; it was noted that, according to both DFT methods used, the ground state of the each of complexes under study is a spin singlet. Standard thermodynamic parameters of formation (standard enthalpy Δ, entropy , and Gibbs free energy Δ) for the above-mentioned macrocyclic compounds were calculated.
