Notizen: Binding and Kinetics of 1-Methylimidazol on Fe(III)-Protoporphyrin(IX)dimethylester and Fe(III)-Tetraphenylporphyrin in Chloroform
Nuclear magnetic line widths data have been used to determine the rate of solvent exchange between the coordination sphere of Fe(III)-protoporphyrin(IX)dimethylester or Fe(III)-tetraphenylporphyrin and the bulk phase of 1-methylimidazol/chloroform. At temperatures below 322 K both porphyrins are in the low-spin state and separate PMR absorption caused by the methyl protons of two 1-methylimidazol molecules complexed in fifth and sixth position of ferri-porphyrins is detected. At T ≳ 320 K an accelerated exchange of these ligands was observed and the underlying kinetic parameters have been extracted. It was found that this exchange takes place when the paramagnetic species is in its low-spin state. For 240 K ≲ T ≲ 290 K dynamic line broadening of bulk phase 1-methylimidazol indicates occurrence of chemical exchange attributed to 1-methylimidazol interacting with ferri-porphyrin in addition to the strongly bound axial ligands.
