This work presents the synthesis and characterization of a series of substituted pyridylpentafluroporphyrins, including the separation of the cis- and trans-isomers, the latter being characterized by X-ray crystallography. The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the series are dependent on the number of electron withdrawing pentafluorophenyl substituent, but they do not depend on the symmetry of the molecule. Ongoing from the monosubstituted to the more substituted pentafluorophenyl porphyrin H2(MPyTFPP) derivative, the Soret bands are slightly red-shifted and their quantum fluorescence yields range from 0.035 to 0.046, consistent with the value of 0.045 for the fully substituted 5,10,15,20-tetrapentafluorophenylporphyrin (dichloromethane solutions). The redox potentials of the reductive processes of monoanion and dianion formation are also sensitive to the number of pentafluoro substituents, shifting 180 mV to more positive values for the P0/P-1process ongoing from the monopentafluoro to the tris-pentafluorophenyl substituted derivative.

A series of complexes of the type Rh(cyclam)X2+ and Rh(cyclam)XYn+ have been prepared and characterized, where cyclam represents 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane and X and Y represent OH−, H2O, Cl−, Br−, I−, N3−, NCS−, and NO2−. The infrared and electronic spectra are discussed with respect to assignment of the cis and trans isomers, the linkage isomers, and the Rh–ligand stretching frequencies above 250 cm−1. The thermodynamic trans effect is related to shifts in the Rh–ligand stretching frequencies. The intensities of the d–d transitions are related to distortion of the octahedral field to support the cis and trans assignments, and compared to show the decrease in bond constraint for propylene linkages in place of ethylene. Steric constraint accounts for the single case of stereoisomerization by cis-Rh(cyclam)I2+.

Cunninghamella elegans and a mutant strain (B8/36) of Beijerinckia both oxidized dibenzofuran to 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrodibenzofuran. The bacterial metabolite was extremely unstable and, in the presence of acid, was rapidly converted into a mixture of 2- and 3-hydroxydibenzofuran. In contrast, the 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrodibenzofuran formed by C. elegans was stable and only yielded 2- and 3-hydroxydibenzofuran when heated under acidic conditions. The results suggest that Beijerinckia B8/36 and C. elegans form the respective cis- and trans-isomers of 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrodibenzofuran. C. elegans also oxidized dibenzofuran to 2- and 3-hydroxydibenzofuran under conditions that would not lead to the dehydration of the trans-dihydrodiol. These observations implicate the initial formation of dibenzofuran- 2,3-epoxide in the fungal oxidation of dibenzofuran. Beijerinckia B8/36 also produced a second unstable dihydrodiol that was tentatively identified as cis-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydrodibenzofuran. This compound gave 2-hydroxydibenzofuran as the major dehydration product and the cis relative stereochemistry was suggested by the isolation and characterization of an isopropylidine derivative. A preparation of cis-naphthalene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase and cell extracts of the parent strain of Beijerinckia oxidized both bacterial dihydrodiols to catechols. Cell extracts prepared from C. elegans catalysed an analogous oxidation of trans-2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrodibenzofuran to 2,3-dihydroxydibenzofuran. The latter product was also isolated and identified from culture filtrates. The results suggest that bacteria and fungi utilize different mechanisms to initiate the oxidation of dibenzofuran.
