In this study, the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new phosphoramides based on 3-amino-5-methylisoxazole with the formulaR2P(O)[NH–C4H4NO],R= C6H5O (1), C6H5(2),RP(O)[NH—C4H4NO]2,R= C6H5O (3), CH3—C6H4O (4), C6H5NH (5), (C6H5)ClP(O)[NH–C4H4NO] (6) and two lanthanide complexes [Ln(2)2(NO3)3(EtOH)]·EtOH, LnIII= Ce (7) and Eu (8), have been reported. The structural study of (3) shows the presence of two conformers (crystallographically independent molecules) in the crystalline lattice, caused by different orientations of the phenyl and isoxazole rings. For (3), the intermolecular interactions have been studied by Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots. Furthermore, the electronic and energy aspects of hydrogen bonds between molecules of (3) have been explored by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. X-ray crystallography of complexes (7) and (8) reveals that two phosphoramide ligands take part in coordination to the metal, one as monodentate from Ophosphoryl, and the other one as chelate through Ophosphoryland Nring. The complexes are also composed of two conformers in the solid-state structure. Quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis discloses the electrostatic nature of the Ln–ligand interaction.

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new axially ligated indium(III) porphyrin complexes were reported. Chloroindium(III) porphyrin (TPPIn-Cl) was obtained in good yield by treating the corresponding free base with indium trichloride. The action of the different phenols on chloroderivatives (TPPIn-Cl) led to the corresponding phenolato complexes (TPPIn-X). These derivatives were characterized on the basis of mass spectrometry,1H-NMR, IR, and UV-visible data. The separation and isolation of these derivatives have been achieved through chromatography. The spectral properties of free base porphyrin and its corresponding metallated and axially ligated indium(III) porphyrin compounds were compared with each other. A detailed analysis of UV-Vis,1H-NMR, and IR suggested the transformation from free base porphyrin to indium(III) porphyrin. Besides,13C-NMR and fluorescence spectra were also reported and interpreted. The stability of these derivatives has also been studied through thermogravimetry. The complexes were also screened for anticancerous activities. Among all the complexes, 4-MePhO-InTPP shows highest anticancerous activity. The title complexe, TPPIn-X (where X = different phenolates), represents a five-coordinate indium(III) porphyrin complex in a square-pyramidal geometry with the phenolate anion as the axial ligand.

Two cobalt porphyrazines, 2,3-tetrapyridoporphyrazine and 3,4-tetrapyridoporphyrazine, were examined in N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and pyridine solutions as to their electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical and ESR spectroscopic properties. These results were compared with those of the unsubstituted cobalt phthalocyanine. At high concentrations, aggregation was observed for each investigated compound in the three solvents. The intensity of ESR signals of each derivative depends upon the extent of aggregation in its solution. The g values shift towards high field with an increase in the strength of the axial ligand and the number of axial ligands on the cobalt center. Both tetrapyridoporphyrazine complexes undergo one oxidation and three reductions in N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide or pyridine solution. Thin-layer UV-visible spectroelectrochemical results confirmed that the first oxidation and first reduction of both compounds are metal-centered while the second and third reductions are ring-centered. An overall electron transfer mechanism for both porphyrazine derivatives is proposed.
