Four tetrabutano and tetrabenzoporphyrins containing sterically hindered meso-(2,6-difluorophenyl) substituents and copper(II) or manganese(III) central metal ions were synthesized and characterized as to their electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties in nonaqueous media. The copper(II) derivatives exhibit the expected two one-electron reductions to give [Formula: see text]-anion radicals and dianions in CH2Cl2. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical data suggest that a Cu(II) phlorin anion is generated from the doubly reduced Cu(II) butanoporphyrin and it is this species which undergoes the third reduction in pyridine. The first one-electron reduction of the Mn(III) porphyrins is metal-centered to give a Mn(II) compound, while the second and third reductions are macrocycle-centered to give Mn(II) porphyrin [Formula: see text]-anion radicals and dianions in both CH2Cl2 and pyridine. A Mn(II) phlorin anion is also generated from the Mn(II) dianion on the spectroelectrochemical timescale under the given solution conditions. The [Formula: see text],[Formula: see text]-butano and benzo groups have a significant effect on the measured redox potentials. Steric hindrance of the meso-(2,6-difluorophenyl) substituents also has an effect on the potential separation between the first two oxidations of the benzoporphyrins.

Electron-deficient metallocomplexes of dodeca- and octanitroporphyrins produced by the introduction of 8 β-nitro substituents or 8 β-nitro and a meta-nitro substituent on each meso-aryl ring of Zn (II) and Ni (II) [meso-tetra-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin] (Zn8, Ni8 and Zn12, Ni12, respectively) and their air-stable reduced species have been characterized by steady-state absorption and Soret-excited resonance Raman spectroscopies. One-electron reduced species of the metallocomplexes were produced by three different procedures (in deprotonated tetrahydrofuran in air ambient, in tetralhydrofuran with the addition of piperidine in air ambient, and in contact with a sodium mirror under vacuum) and demonstrated similar absorption and RR spectra. It is concluded on the basis of the RR spectra that the one-electron reduction products of the studied polynitrosubstituted metalloporphyrins are π–anion radicals in character.

Electron spin resonance spectra have been observed for anion radicals derived from 2-fluoro-nitro-benzene, 3-fluoro-nitrobenzene, 2,4-difluoro-nitrobenzene, 2,5-difluoro-nitrobenzene, 4-fluoro-2-nitro-phenol, 2-fluoro-6-nitrophenol, and 3-fluoro-6-nitrophenol. All radicals were generated electrolytically in dimethoxyethane/acetonitrile solution, acetonitrile, or dimethylformamide. The radicals are generally quite stable with the exception of those from 2-fluoro-6-nitrophenol and 3-fluoro-6-nitrophenol, the latter decaying with a half-life of approximately 6 min. All spectra can be interpreted completely, and coupling constants are assigned by comparison to related compounds and consistency arguments.
