The reaction of oxygen with Cr(II) porphyrin complexes in solution has been found to result in the formation of CrIVO(P) compounds when oxygen is in excess. Solid CrII(P) also react irreversibly with oxygen, and the products dissolve in toluene to form CrIVO(P). The complex (TPP)CrOCr(TPP) has been isolated from the reaction of CrO(TPP) and CrII(TPP) and shown to undergo further reaction with oxygen to give CrO(TPP). The complex shows an IR absorption at 860 cm-1, considered to indicate the presence of the CrOCr linkage, and has μeff = 1.61 μB per Cr at 300 K, indicating substantial antiferromagnetic coupling. Similar μ-oxo complex formation has been demonstrated spectroscopically between other CrO(P)/Cr(P′) combinations where P and P′ may be the same or different. (P)CrOCr(P) complexes can be detected as intermediates in the reaction of CrII(P) with oxygen when the amount of oxygen is restricted. CrIII(P)Cl also reacts with oxygen in chloroform in the presence of HCl to give intermediates that are converted to CrIVO(P) in the presence of basic alumina. A Cr-porphyrin π-cation radical is proposed as the intermediate.
