Bis-benzimidazole-appended binucleating porphyrin ligands: synthesis, characterization, and x-ray structure

Reversal of H2O and OH- Ligand Field Strength on the Magnetochemical Series Relative to the Spectrochemical Series. Novel 1-equiv Water Chemistry of Iron(III) Tetraphenylporphyrin Complexes

“…In fact, with sterically encumbered porphyrins which inhibit dimerization (e.g. tetramesitylporphyrin, 33,34 pincer porphyrin, 35 and chiroporphyrin 36 ) or with a highly fluorinated porphyrin, 37 many monomeric hydroxoiron(III) porphyrin com- plexes have been isolated. In every case, a high spin state is proven or implied by the characterization data.…”

Analysis and characterization of iron pyrite nanocrystals and nanocrystalline thin films derived from bromide anion synthesis

“…2,[20][21][22] In this paper, we report on the use of iron(II) bromide (FeBr 2 ) as a new iron precursor for FeS 2 NC synthesis in the hot solution injection process. Anhydrous FeBr 2 has already been used in a number of syntheses of iron compounds due to its relatively high solubility in organic solvents, 23,24 though to our knowledge, no previous report has been made on the synthesis of iron pyrite employing FeBr 2 as a precursor. Iron pyrite is an Earth-abundant and non-toxic material and, based on the globally harmonized system of classication and labeling of chemicals (GHS), using iron(II) bromide rather than iron(II) chloride reduces the toxicity of the synthetic route to FeS 2 NCs.…”

A Versatile and Convenient Method for the Functionalization of Porphyrins

“…With this particular model, we plan to avoid any eventual intermolecular reaction owing to the size of benzimidazole in comparison with imidazole. A previous work concerning 2-methylbenzimidazolyl-picket porphyrins (known as pincer-porphyrins) has already been reported by Reed et al, [29] but at that time only two coordinating groups had been attached to the porphyrin.…”
