Tautomerism in free base porphyrins: the porphyrin potential energy surface

Abstract

AM1 calculations are reported which demonstrate that the classical hydrogen migration in porphyrin occurs via a two-step mechanism, not a synchronous-concerted mechanism as has been previously supposed; the implications of this mechanism on tautomerization dynamics are discussed.
