Abstract—The thermodynamics of stepwise reactions of hydroxyoxo(5,10,15,20ꢀtetraphenylporphiꢀ
nato)tungsten(V) (O=W(OH)TPP) with biologically active base molecules was studied. For the reaction of
O=W(OH)TPP with benzimidazole, four steps were found and studied; the equilibrium constants Kn were
determined to be 2.55
O=W(OH)TPP with pyrazine was a oneꢀstep reversible process of Pyz coordination to the eighth coordinaꢀ

metal porphyrin as a receptor for Nꢀbases in membranes, sensors, and analytical devices for quality control
of foodstuffs, drugs, and gas mixtures for the content of VOCs.

Currently, coordination and ligand replacement (BzIm) and pyrazine (Pyz), i.e., heterocycles forming
reactions involving porphyrin complexes of highly the basis for many drugs and aromatic compounds in

3 or more) are of considerable interest for the coordiꢀ
nation and applied chemistry. Being complexes with
mixed coordination sphere, they are distinguished by
diversity of possible coordination polyhedra, they have
a high effective charge on the central atom and vacanꢀ
cies in the first coordination sphere and thus remain
coordinatively unsaturated [1–5]. The formation of
supramolecular complexes with molecules of bases is
the most typical reaction of (Х)n – 2MP functioning in
different physical states in natural objects, engineering
devices, and molecular machines [6–10]. Studies of
the quantitative characteristics and the stoichiometry
of the molecular complexation reactions in solutions
provide conditions for targeted search for receptors for
biologically active bases and transporting agents for
small molecules or ions to be used as sensors and anaꢀ
lytical reagents in quality control and environmental
monitoring.

tungsten(V) O=W(OH)TPP. The complex was preꢀ
pared by a reported procedure [15]: 5,10,15,20ꢀtetꢀ
raphenylporphin (H2TPP) (0.1 g, 0.16 mmol) was
refluxed with WCl6 (0.2 g, 0.53 mmol) in phenol
(0.8 g) at a temperature of 454 K for 4 h. The synthesis
was terminated when the UV/Vis spectrum of a samꢀ
ple from the reaction mixture in chloroform no longer
contained bands for H2TPP (λmax, nm: 648.0, 592.0,
551.0, 516.0, 485.0, 420.0). The complex was isolated
in the solid state by vacuum evaporation of phenol,
dissolved in CHCl3, and applied onto a column with
Al2O3. Chromatographic purification using CHCl3
was repeated twice. The yield of the complex was 60%.
