Manganese(III) 5-(pentafluorophenyl)-10,15,20-tri(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin, Mn(PFTDCPP), and manganese(II) 2,3, 7,8,12,13,17,18-octachloro-5-(pentafluorophenyl) - 10,15-20-tri(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin, Mn(PFTDCCl8PP), have been synthesised and used as catalysts in hydrocarbon oxidations by iodosylbenzene and hydrogen peroxide both in solution and covalently bound to aminopropylated silica. The former shows higher efficiency in the epoxidation of alkenes by iodosyl-benzene, whereas the perchlorinated manganese porphyrin is more efficient in the hydroxylation of alkanes by this oxidant. The supported manganese(III) porphyrin show the same activity as its homogeneous analogue. With hydrogen peroxide as oxygen donor, Mn(PFTDCPP) is a stable and effective catalyst in the presence of imidazole. The perchlorinated analogue is a poor catalyst with this oxidant. The eight additional chlorine atoms on the porphyrin ring stabilise Mn(II) and unfavour the formation of the active species, Mn(V)=O. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

To study the dynamics and mechanism of intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PET) reactions, a series of (ZnII-FeIII) mejo-tetraarylmetalloporphyrin dimers were synthesized and the kinetics of their PET reactivity was measured. Molecular building blocks were prepared by selective nucleophilic aromatic substitution of a para fluorine on tetraarylporphyrins containing a single pentafluorophenyl group. This synthetic approach allows a wide variety of systematic modifications such as type and length of spacer, metal center, and redox-potential difference between donor and acceptor. The edge-to-edge distance between the two porphyrins varies from 14.4 to 27.3 ?. Into a symmetric dimer, with two identical porphyrins covalently linked by a rigid partly saturated bridge, one zinc(II) and one iron(III) can be inserted. From measurements of fluorescence lifetimes the rate constants for PET from the electronically excited state of the zinc porphyrin to the bis(imidazole)iron porphyrin cation were evaluated. The electron-transfer rate decreases by a factor of only 165 when the distance increases by 13 ?. This small decrease is indicative of a surprisingly weak attenuation of the electronic coupling with distance.
