The two-electron reduction of a diprotonated dodecaphenylporphyrin derivative by Na S O gave a corresponding isophlorin (Iph) selectively. Formation of Iph was confirmed by spectroscopic measurements and the isolation of tetramethylated Iph. Further reduction of Iph proceeded to form an unprecedented four-electron-reduced porphyrin (IphH ), which was fully characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analysis. IphH , with a unique conformation, could be oxidized to reproduce the starting porphyrin, resulting in a proton-coupled four-electron reversible redox system.
双质子化的十二苯基卟啉衍生物在亚硫酸钠的作用下,可选择性地得到相应的异佛洛林(Iph)。通过光谱测量和四甲基化 Iph 的分离证实了 Iph 的形成。Iph 的进一步还原生成了一种前所未有的四电子还原卟啉(IphH),其结构通过光谱和 X 射线晶体学分析得到了充分的表征。IphH 具有独特的构象,可以被氧化以再生起始卟啉,从而形成质子耦合的四电子可逆氧化还原体系。
