ABSTRACT
Facile nitrite reduction was achieved using [Fe(II)(HCTPPH)NO] as the starting compound to react with NaNO(2). Stoichiometric studies allow the isolation of both {Fe(NO)}(6) and {Fe(NO)}(7) nitrosyl complexes and provide insight into the proton and electron transfer processes during the nitrite reduction. Treating [Fe(CTPP)NO] with acid or oxidizing [Fe(HCTPP)NO] with AgClO(4) yields intermediate [Fe(HCTPP)NO](+). The conversion cycles starting from {Fe(NO)}(6) [Fe(CTPP)NO] to {Fe(NO)}(6) [Fe(HCTPP)NO][ClO(4)] then to {Fe(NO)}(7) [Fe(HCTPP)NO] and vice versa were constructed.

[structure: see text] The demetalation of M(III)(HCTPPO)Br (M = Mn or Fe) afforded two hydroxylated N-confused porphyrinoids. CTPPOH retains the tautomer form of the N-confused porphyrin with a hydroxyl group substituted in the inner-core carbon. The further attack of OH(-) to the meso carbon afforded a dihydroxylated N-confused macrocycle, CTPP(OH)(2).
ABSTRACT
Iron(II) 2-aza-21-carbaporphyrins have been characterized by paramagnetically shifted (1)H and (2)H NMR spectra. The high-spin iron(II) complex (HCTPPH)Fe(II)Br displays the beta-H resonances which reflect the combination sigma and pi routes of spin density delocalization. The uniquely large isotropic shift of the inner H(21) hydrogen (812 ppm, 298 K) indicates an Fe(II)-[C(21)-H] agostic interaction.
