Introduction

Isoporphyrin is a tautomer of porphyrin with broken aromaticity due to the presence of a meso-sp3 -carbon. This monoanionic ligand structure is of interest because of the Q-bands in the NIR region of the optical spectra. Isoporphyrin structures are discussed in possible intermediates in chlorophyll synthesis and in the catabolism of heme.

Zinc- & Cadmium-Isoporphyrins

Zinc- and cadmium complexes of pyrrolyl and dipyrrinyl isoporphyrins with different phenyl and thienyl groups in meso position are reported. Starting from pyrrol or a dipyrromethane those complexes can be prepared in a template mediated two-step-one-pot synthesis. Zinc or cadmium acetate can be used as template reagents.

The Procedures can be found in our publications in Angew. Chem. and Chem. Eur. J.

Besides H3-Corrole and Zinc-Porphyrin there a other interesting side products forming in this synthesis. For example a Zinc-5,15-Bispyrrolylporphodimethenes and Zinc-Dipyrrins and Zinc-Tripyrrins. A recent paper about these sideproducts has been published in Eur. J. Inorg. Chem.

The Free Base is a Hydroxyporphodimethene

Treatment with strong acids is often described as decomposition of the ligand. This is not the case. Repeated washing with TFA and acetate buffer (pH = 2 to 4, 0.5 molar) followed by sodium carbonate (for electron donating meso substituents) leads to a metal free species which turned out to be a hydroxyporphodimethene.

Demetalation

Remetalation via Acetate Method

Remetalation of the Porphodimethene can be achieved by using the well-known Acetate Method. The metal-free species and the corresponding acetate salt are heated in glacial acetic acid. The transmetalated Isoporphyrin can be obtained with nearly quantitative yields.
