Redox chemistry of dichlorophosphorus(V)tetraphenylporphine : isolation and characterization of a stable porphyrin ‘anion’ radical and possible evidence for internal electron transfer
Abstract
One-electron reduction of the title complex leads o an extremely stable ring-reduced radical which has been isolated and characterized; addition of a second electron leads to, among other products, the free base tetraphenylporphine via an internal electron transfer.
