Popis: Zinc(II) and iron(III) complexes of three modified picket fence porphyrins in which one of the four pivalamido pickets was replaced by a meta-methyl, -amino, or -hydroxy benzoylamino picket were synthesized. The iron complex containing the phenolic OH on the picket fence mimics the abnormal active sites for a type of hemoglobin mutant, Hb M. Proton NMR and visible spectra for the zinc complexes have shown that the NH2 or OH group on the picket fence does not coordinate to the central metal ion in CH2Cl2 at room temperature. Contrary to this, coordination of the phenolic OH (or O−) on the picket fence to form OFeO axial geometry was found for the iron complex by ESR measurements in CH2Cl2 at 77 K. On the other hand, the ESR spectra for the three iron complexes with 1-methylimidazole under basic conditions have shown the presence of two regioisomers in OFeN axial geometry, because of the unsymmetrical distribution of the picket fences on the porphyrin plane.
