The oxidation of hydroxy(tetramesitylporphyrinato)Fe(III) ([Fe(tmp)]OH) has been investigated by voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical techniques in CH2Cl2 containing tetra(n-butyl)ammonium hexafluorophosphate as supporting electrolyte. In this medium, the first one-electron oxidation is reversible on the time scale of cyclic voltammetry. The UV–vis spectrum, as obtained by double potential step chronoabsorptometry, indicates that the oxidation is centered at the porphyrin ring to form the corresponding π-cation radical. At longer times, or higher potentials, oxidation of [Fe(tmp)]OH leads to loss of hydroxide and formation of [Fe(tmp+)]PF6 π-cation radical. The time-dependent process is consistent with an ECE type mechanism, with the chemical step being slow conversion to neutral [Fe(tmp)]PF6. At higher potentials, the initial oxidation product loses a second electron. The overpotential dependent oxidation suggests an EEC type mechanism with the second electrochemical step being a slow heterogeneous electron transfer from the Fe-OH moiety.Key words: hydroxy(tetramesitylporphyrinato)iron(III), oxidation, electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, π-cation radical.

The oxidations of OEPNi(II), OEPCu(II), OEPFe(III)Cl, OEPMn(III)ClO4, OEPAg(II), OEPCo(II), and OEPZn(II) (OEP = 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin dianion) have been studied by in situ FTIR reflectance spectroelectrochemistry in dibromomethane. One-electron oxidation of the porphyrin ring to produce a π-cation radical results in the appearance of a strong new absorbance band near 1550 cm−1. Other features typical of π-cation radical formation are a strong absorbance increase near 1470 cm−1, and absorbance decreases near 1270 and 1018 cm−1. Oxidation of the metal centre, as observed for OEPCo(II) in the presence of CH3CN, and for OEPAg(II), results in considerably less perturbation of the vibrational spectra of the complexes. For OEPCo(II) in dry dibromomethane, initial oxidation at the porphyrin ligand is followed by a second oxidation at the metal centre. This order is reversed when acetonitrile is added to solution. Production of porphyrin π-dications was observed for OEPCu(II) and OEPNi(II). This results in a shift of the 1550 cm−1 π-cation radical marker band to higher energy, and a strong absorbance increase near 1380 cm−1. Unusual spectral changes observed on one-electron oxidation of OEPZn(II) are suggested to result from the formation of a dimer.

We previously showed that one-electron transfer from tetrahydropterins to iron porphyrins is a very general reaction, with formation of an intermediate cation radical similar to the one detected in NO synthase. As a model reaction, the rates of reduction of eight haemoproteins by diMePH4 (6,7-dimethyltetrahydropterin) have been studied and correlated with their one-electron reduction potentials, Em (FeIII/FeII). On the basis of kinetic data analyses, a bimolecular collisional mechanism is proposed for the electron transfer from diMePH4 to ferrihaemoproteins. Haemoproteins with reduction potentials below −160 mV were shown not to be reduced by diMePH4 to the corresponding ferrohaemoproteins. For haemoproteins with reduction potentials more positive than −160 mV, such as chloroperoxidase, cytochrome b5, methaemoglobin and cytochrome c, there was a good correlation between the second-order reduction rate constant and the redox potential, Em (FeIII/FeII):The rate of reduction of cytochrome c by BH4 [(6R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin] was determined to be similar to that of the reduction of cytochrome c by diMePH4. These results confirm the role of tetrahydropterins as one-electron donors to FeIII porphyrins.

Evidences for the enhancement of the heterogeneous electron transfer rates of riboflavin in the presence of copper in aqueous medium with a glassy carbon electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, chronocoulometry and differential anodic stripping pulse voltammetry. It was found that copper exhibits a multi-nuclear complex with riboflavin in aqueous KCl solution. The overall stability constant of the complex was calculated (log? = 11.17), which is in a good agreement for the formation of a stable copper-riboflavin complex.
