Kinetics and mechanisms of the formation of a sitting-atop complex of N-alkylporphyrin with Al(III) in moist acetonitrile
Abstract
The formation of a sitting-atop complex of a N-alkylporphyrin, containing a 6-hydroxyhexyl group, with Al3+ was studied in moist acetonitrile by equilibrium and kinetic measurements. A sandwich type of metalloporphyrin, where a metal ion binds two N-alkylporphyrins, appears to be formed under the conditions that porphyrins exist in excess over a metal ion. When a large excess of metal ion was used, a 1:1 type of sitting-atop complex of Al(III)N-alkylporphyrin was produced through formation of the sandwich type of Al(III)N-alkylporphyrin.
