exhibit extremely low reactivity in complexing. The
distortion effect leads to increased basicity of the
tertiary nitrogen atoms which form strong hydrogen
bonds with the acetic acid molecules blocking the
coordination center of the porphyrin. Slight accelera-
tion of the complexation reaction on changing from 5
to 6 is apparently due to the fact that the distortion
effect and the –I effect of the NO2 groups in the phenyl
cores have mutually opposite impacts on the rate of the
metalloporphyrin formation reaction. Due to its
negative induction effect the nitro group slightly
acidifies the NH bonds of the porphyrin, thereby
facilitating their stretching in the transition state.

The rate of the complexation reactions for planar
porphyrin 1 and slightly distorted porphyrin 2 with
Zn(AcO)2, Cu(AcO)2, and Co(AcO)2 in the binary
acetic acid–benzene (7 : 3) solvent is several orders of
magnitude higher than that in pyridine. This is associated
with stabilization of the first solvation shell of the salts
on changing from acetic acid to pyridine [26, 27].

Depending on the nature of the salt cation, the rate
of the metalloporphyrin formation reaction in acetic
acid increases in the series: Zn2+ < Co2+ < Cu 2+. As
already noted, the reaction of formation of the copper
complexes proceeds faster compared to those in the
case of the cobalt and zinc complexes. This can be
obviously explained by the manifestation of the Jahn-
Teller effect, responsible for the square-pyramidal
configuration of the coordination sphere with two
substantially stretched and weakened M–Solv bonds,
taken by the copper(II) solvate complexes. It was
found [28] that the main contribution to the activation
energy of the coordination reactions of porphyrins
comes from the energy spent in deformation and
stretching of the M–Solv bonds of the solvate com-
plexes and NH bonds of the porphyrins. Deceleration
of the complexation upon changing from cobalt acetate
to zinc acetate is also associated with the specific
composition and structure of the solvation shells of
Co(AcO)2 and Zn(AcO)2 [26].
