Electron transport via metalloporphyrins

Abstract: The controlled potential electrolysis of Ni(II) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (Ni(II)TPP) gives at room temperature the corresponding metalloporphyrin π-cation radical [Ni(II)TPP]+ •. Upon freezing a solution of the π-cation radical to 77 K an internal electron transfer occurs to give [Ni(III)TPP]+. A discussion of the routes of electron transport in heme proteins is given, and the roles of metalloporphyrin π-cation radicals in electron transport is evaluated.

“…As a consequence, the value of the E 1/2 4-3 decreases about 120 mV when the ES is changed from TBA(PF 6 ) to TBAP. Such a dependence from the ES anion was also observed before by other workers with ZnTPP in CH 2 Cl 2 solutions of the same ES [23,24] We propose instead the following explanation: (i) the -cation formed in the first oxidation process interacts with the SE anion and forms a new species, the ion-pairs {P + (ClO 4 − )} or {P + (PF 6 − )}, where P represents the neutral porphyrin molecule, and (ii) the energy of the HOMO of the {P + (ClO 4 − )} species is higher than that of the HOMO of the {P + (PF 6 − )} species, i.e., the stabilization of P + through ion-pairing increases when the SE anion is changed from ClO 4 − to PF 6 − . The new species adsorbs on the WE surface giving rise to a stabilized surface species; as a consequence, the first oxi- dation peak Ox1 is preceded by the prewave 1 and followed by the postwave 2 shown in Fig.…”

“…The different ratio of the deprotonated species is attributed to a change in pK a and/or pH of aqueous solutions upon freezing of the EPR sample. 23,24 Mossbauer spectra of the pH 2 and 13 samples were recorded at 100 K. For this temperature the magnetic spectra essentially collapsed to doublets. At pH 2, the parameters of the doublet were the isomer shift (δ) 0.14 mm s −1 and the quadrupole splitting (ΔE Q ) 3.59 mm s −1 .…”
