Synthesis of urea picket porphyrins and their use in the elucidation of the role buried solvent plays in the selectivity and stoichiometry of anion binding receptors.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of alpha,alpha-5,10-diurea and alpha,alpha,alpha-5,10,15-triurea picket porphyrins are detailed in this report. In previous reports, these porphyrins, along with alpha,alpha,alpha,alpha-5,10,15,20-tetraurea picket porphyrin, were used to demonstrate the important role one buried solvent molecule plays in the selectivity and stoichiometry of binding inorganic anions. Building on prior work, this report discusses the results of acetate anion binding studies between tetra- and diurea picket porphyrins (the latter does not contain a buried solvent molecule in the anion-receptor complex), compares differences in thermodynamic data obtained from van't Hoff plots of a porphyrin anion receptor able to utilize buried solvent in its binding motif with one that does not, and compares the crystal structure of a tetraurea porphyrin 1-chloride anion complex that contains buried solvent with new X-ray crystal structures of tetraurea porphyrin 1-dichloride or bisdihydrogenphosphate anion complexes that contain no buried solvent. Data from our previous work, and the work described herein, demonstrates that one buried solvent molecule provides stability to the receptor-anion complex that is similar in energy to a moderately strong hydrogen bond.

Project description:Disorder in the position of the dioxygen ligand is a well-known problem in dioxygen complexes and, in particular, those of picket fence porphyrin species. The dynamics of Fe-O2 rotation and tert-butyl motion in three different picket fence porphyrin derivatives has been studied by a combination of multitemperature X-ray structural studies and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Structural studies show that the motions of the dioxygen ligand also require motions of the protecting pickets of the ligand binding pocket. The two motions appear to be correlated, and the temperature-dependent change in the O2 occupancies cannot be governed by a simple Boltzmann distribution. The three [Fe(TpivPP)(RIm)(O2)] derivatives studied have RIm = 1-methyl-, 1-ethyl-, or 2-methylimidazole. In all three species there is a preferred orientation of the Fe-O2 moiety with respect to the trans imidazole ligand and the population of this orientation increases with decreasing temperature. In the 1-MeIm and 1-EtIm species the Fe-O2 unit is approximately perpendicular to the imidazole plane, whereas in the 2-MeHIm species the Fe-O2 unit is approximately parallel. This reflects the low energy required for rotation of the Fe-O2 unit and the small energy differences in populating the possible pocket quadrants. All dioxygen complexes have a crystallographically required 2-fold axis of symmetry that limits the accuracy of the determined Fe-O2 geometry. However, the 80 K structure of the 2-MeHIm derivative allowed for resolution of the two bonded oxygen atom positions and provided the best geometric description for the Fe-O2 unit. The values determined are Fe-O = 1.811(5) Å, Fe-O-O = 118.2(9)°, O-O = 1.281(12) Å, and an off-axis tilt of 6.2°. Demonstration of the off-axis tilt is a first. We present detailed temperature-dependent simulations of the Mössbauer spectra that model the changing value of the quadrupole splitting and line widths. Residuals to fits are poorer at higher temperature. We believe that this is consistent with the idea that population of the two conformers is related to the concomitant motions of both Fe-O2 rotations and motions of the protecting tert-butyl pickets.
