Reaction of iron(III) porphyrin hydroxide with imidazoles
Abstract
The reaction of 5,10,15-trianthracenyl-20-(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrinato iron(III) hydroxide (2), with imidazole or 1-methylimidazole yields a new bis-imidazole complex whose suggested structure comprises bis ligation by one imidazole and the hydroxide with the latter hydrogen-bonded to a second imidazole.
