Tetrakis(thiadiazolo)porphyrazines. 3. Acid-base Properties and Stability of Tetrakis-3,4-(1,2,5-thiadiazolo)porphyrazine in Sulfuric Acid Solutions

摘要

AM1 calculations gave the proton affinities of different types of donor sites in tetrakis-3,4-(1,2,5-thiadiazolo)porphyrazine, H2{[SN2)4PA}, and protonation of the meso-nitrogen atoms was found to be favored. A spectrometric study showed that the basicity of the meso-nitrogen atoms of the porphyrazine macrocycle is strongly diminished and these atoms in CF3CO2H are involved in an incomplete acid-base interaction (ABI) to give acid solvates, while a complete ABI (protonation) is found only in the presence of sulfuric acid. The basicity constants of the meso-nitrogen atoms were determined spectrophotometrically in CF3CO2H-H2SO4. The kinetics of decomposition of the macrocyclic chromophore in concentrated sulfuric acid was studied and a possible mechanism for this process was proposed.
