The reaction of dioxygen with iron(II) porphyrins in inert solvents has been studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy in order to detect the presence of reactive intermediates.Sterically hindered porphyrins have been examined in which the formation of peroxo- and oxo-bridged dimeric structure is limited.The iron(II) porphyrins studied have 1H NMR spectra characteristic of intermediate-spin (S = 1), four-coordinate species.Reduction of iron(III) chloride (FeIIICl) or iron(III) chloride (FeIIICl) with either aqueous sodium dithionite or zinc amalgam in dichloromethane solution produces FeII or FeII.The previously reported reduction of these two porphyrins with piperidine has been reexamined and shown to form the bis(pipridine) adducts of the iron(II) porphyrins.Addition of dioxygen to paramagnetic iron(II) (FeII) in toluene solution below -70 deg C produces a new diamagnetic complex that is formulated as FeO2. 1H NMR spectroscopic observations indicated that, on warming, this species is successively converted to FeIIIO2FeIII and to FeIIIOFeIII.The latter has been previously isolated.Reaction of FeO2 with N-methylimidazole (N-MeIm) at -70 deg C results in the formation of (N-MeIm)FeO2.Addition of oxygen to FeII at -70 deg C in toluene solution results in the formation of diamagnetic FeO2.This, on warming, is converted to FeO2Fe and then to FeOH and FeOFe as the final stable products.Addition of dioxygen to FeII and FeII in dichloromethane solution at -70 deg C produces diamagnetic dioxygen adducts.On warming, these undergo dissociation to form the parent iron(II) complex and irreversible oxidation to form iron(III) porphyrin hydroxide and chloride.
