The difluoroiron(III) tetraphenylporphyrin complex undergoes a one-electron oxidation at 0.68 V (SCE) in contrast with values of 1.1 V measured for the monofluoroiron(III) porphyrin and the other five-coordinate iron(III) porphyrin complexes.Cyclic voltammetric oxidation of the difluoroiron(III) species in dichloromethane solution is quasi-reversible as a consequence of an EC mechanism.Reversible waves are favored at high scan rates and lower temperatures.Increased water content serves to make the oxidative cyclic voltammetric process irreversible presumably due to a disproportionation process.In the presence of added olefin substrates, this EC process permits efficient electrocatalytic oxidation to the epoxide, allylic alcohol, and enone.Tertiary carbon units are converted to the corresponding alcohol.Utilization of fluoride ion permits generation and low-temperature spectroscopic identification of a highly oxidized iron porphyrin species.The high-valent complex is produced at -78 deg C through addition of m-chloroperbenzoic acid to monofluoroiron(III) tetraarylporphyrins or by fluoride ion promoted disproportionation of the dication radical μ-oxo dimeric iron(III) porphyrin derivative.The oxidized iron porphyrin species is competent to effect olefin epoxidation at -78 deg C.Low-temperature 1H and 2H NMR spectroscopies demonstrate the porphyrin ?-cation radical nature of the high-valent species, in that porphyrin phenyl resonances are drastically shifted in alternating upfield and downfield directions.The electron spin resonance spectrum is consistent with an S = 3/2 ground state, and the high-valent intermediate is assigned a tentative fluorooxoiron(IV) porphyrin ?-cation radical formulation.

The μ-oxo iron(III) porphyrin dimers [(TPP)Fe]2O, [(TPP(4-OCH3))Fe]2O, [(TPP(4-CF3))Fe]2O, and [(TPP(F5))Fe]2O (where TPP is meso-tetraphenylporphyrin, TPP(4-OCH3) is meso-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin, TPP(4-CF3) is meso-tetrakis(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)porphyrin, and TPP(F5) is meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin) have been studied to determine the effect of peripheral substituents on the porphyrin rings on properties of the molecules. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility studies on solid samples yielded the following exchange-coupling constants for the antiferromagnetically coupled iron(III) ions: -146.8 cm-1, [(TPP(4-OCH3))Fe]2O; -135.7 cm-1, [(TPP)Fe]2O; -136.4 cm-1, [(TPP(4-CF3))Fe]2O; -146.9 cm-1, [(TPP(F5))Fe]2O. Variable-temperature 13C NMR studies of dichloromethane solutions yield exchange-coupling constants of -150 cm-1 for [(TPP(4-OCH3))Fe]2O, -145 cm-1 for [(TPP)Fe]2O, and -129 cm-1 for [(TPP(F5))Fe]2O. Raman spectra were collected in the region of the energy of the outer-ring stretching modes found at approximately 1560 cm-1. The position of this band is empirically related to the porphyrin core size, and the data indicate that the porphyrin center-pyrrole nitrogen (Ct-N) distances increase in the order [(TPP(F5))Fe]2O 3))Fe]2O 2O 3))Fe]2O. The data support the hypothesis that the porphyrin ring core size increases as the electron-releasing capability of the peripheral substituent increases. For the para-substituted complexes, increasing core size correlates with stronger axial binding, reflected in stronger antiferromagnetic coupling. The anomalous behavior of [(TPP(F5))Fe]2O may result from distortions caused by steic interactions of the o-fluorines.
