Synthesis and Structure of Gold(III) Compounds with i-Pr- and t-Bu-Substituted Tetraarylporphyrins
摘要
Abstract
Gold(III) compounds with tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)porphyrin, [Au(TTBPP)][AuCl4] (I), and with tetrakis(4-isopropylphenyl)porphyrin, [Au(TIPPP)][AuCl4] (II), were synthesized for the first time. The obtained compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis of solvated complexes (CCDC no. 2333206 (Ia) and 2333207 (IIa)). Study of the structures of the obtained gold(III) complexes confirmed their specific character consisting in the formation of additional Au⋯Au and Au⋯Cl contacts between neighboring complexes giving weak intermolecular bonds.
