“…Previously, some similarities between metalloporphycenes and the corresponding metalloporphyrins have been established. ,, In the field of iron(III) porphycene chemistry, the following complexes have been characterized: (TPrPc)Fe III X (X = Cl - , Br - , N 3 - , CH 3 COO - , CF 3 COO - , C 6 H 5 O - ), , [(TPrPc)Fe III )] 2 O, , and (TPrPc)Fe III R, where TPrPc = 2,7,12,17-tetrapropylporphycene and R = aryl ligands. , By the use of electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry, it has been demonstrated that porphycene stabilizes high oxidation states of iron in the following systems: [(TPrPc)Fe III ] 2+ , [(TPrPc)Fe IV R] + , and {[(TPrPc)Fe IV ] 2 O} 2+ . , As shown by the formation of the interesting complex (TPrPc)Os VI (O) 2 , porphycene coordination allows for the osmium ion to be stabilized in the formal oxidation state VI . Iron(II) porphycene, when generated electrochemically, also reacts spontaneously with dioxygen to give a μ-oxo-bridged diiron(III) species (eq 1) …”
