Abstract
A number of trans-dihydroxo porphyrinato platinum(IV) complexes,
(porp)Pt-IV(OH)(2) have been synthesized and characterized from
their platinum(II)-porphyrin precursors by spectroscopic methods. The
crystal structure of the platinum complex of
trans-dihydroxo-meso-tetramesitylporphyrinato platinum(IV)
meta-chlorobenzoic acid ((TMP)Pt-IV(OH)(2)(m-CBA)(2)) has also been
determined. The porphyrin periphery is planar and the platinum atom has
a slightly distorted octahedral environment. It must be noted that there
is a very strong O-H . . . O hydrogen bond between the hydrogen atoms of
mchlorobenzoic acids and the two hydroxo ligands coordinated to the
platinum center. This crystal structure has been previously described by
us as trans-dihydroxo-meso-tetramesitylporphyrinato platinum(VI)
meta-chlorobenzoate ((TMP)Pt-VI(OH)(2)(m-CB)(2)), but the
spectroscopic data has been reinterpreted due to the contradictory +6
oxidation state for platinum. The UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopic data
suggest that the porphyrin skeleton is similar to that of normal
porphyrins and are also indicative of the +4 oxidation state for
platinum. Cyclic voltammetry studies also indicate that PtIITMP can
oxidize up to Pt-IV(TMP+.) species via three successive one-electron
oxidation steps. The results of DFT studies and NBO analysis confirm
that platinum has +4 oxidation state in both (TMP)
Pt(OH)(2)(m-CBA)(2) and (TMP)Pt(OH)(2)(m-CB)(2) complexes. The
catalytic activity of these porphyrin complexes has been investigated
for the oxidation of various alkenes in the presence of iodosylbenzene.
