Addition of copper(II) acetate to octaethyl(meso-hydroxy)porphyrin (H2OEPOH) in THF under a dinitrogen atmosphere produces CuII(OEPOH), which has been isolated as red crystals and shown to have a meso-hydroxyporphyrin structure by UV-vis and EPR spectroscopy. CuII(OEPOH) undergoes oxidation by dioxygen to form a novel dinuclear copper complex {CuII(OEPOC(O)OEB)CuII}. This dinuclear complex is composed of a copper(II) meso-substituted porphyrin portion (with a planar CuN4 unit), which is attached through an ester linkage to a helical copper(II) tetrapyrrole that has been ring-opened through oxidative cleavage of a second molecule of CuII(OEPOH). The oxidative ring-opening reaction resembles that of natural heme catabolism but is arrested at a stage where the oxidized meso-carbon is still appended to the helical open tetrapyrrole. A mechanism is suggested for this process.Key words: copper porphyrin, crystal structure, porphyrin oxidation, linear tetrapyrrole, hydroxy-porphyrin, oxophlorin.

Six dinuclear copper(II) complexes have been prepared, Cu2(taet)(plam)2X2 where taet = 1,1,2,2-tetraacetylethanediide, plam = N-alkylated polyamine such as tmen = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine or pmdt = N,N,N′,N′,N′-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine, X = a monovalent anion such as ClO4- , NO3- or Cl-. These complexes are classified into two categories from the results of electronic spectra, IR spectra, and X-ray single crystal structure analysis as follows: (1) 4-coordinate-4-coordinate dinuclear, [Cu2(taet)(tmen)2]X2 (where X = ClO4- or NO3-), (2) 5-coordinate-5-coordinate dinuclear, [Cu2(taet)(tmen)2Cl2], and [Cu2(taet)(pmdt)2]X2 (where X = ClO4-, NO3- , or Cl- ). The crystal structure of Cu2(taet)(tmen)2(ClO4)2 · H2O (1) has been determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction technique; monoclinic space group P21/a with a = 26.478(3), b = 8.744(1), c = 15.601(3) Å, β = 106.195(9)°, and V = 3468.9(8) Å3 for Z = 4. The final agreement factors are R = 0.097 ( Rw = 0.099). The geometry of each Cu(II) moiety in the dinuclear cation (1) is 4-coordinate square planar with a N2O2 donor set. This tmen-dinuclear complex exhibits a very weak C u (II)-Cu (II) interaction (J = -0.5 cm-1), and shows characteristic ESR spectra with seven hyperfine peaks in 1,2-dichloroethane solution at room temperature. This is not found for the corresponding pmdt-dinuclear complex. All complexes obtained in this study are very soluble in many organic solvents. The tmen-dinuclear complexes show pronounced solvatochromic behavior-dependent on the solvent donor properties. This is not found for the corresponding pmdt-dinuclears, which are stable as 5-coordinated species.

The title complex, [Cu2(C20H16F2N4O2)(CH4O)2](ClO4)2, was synthesized by cyclo-condensation between ethylenediamine and 2,6-diformyl-4-fluorophenol in the presence of CuII ions. This dinuclear copper complex is centrosymmetric. Both Cu atoms are in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, coordinated by three O atoms and two N atoms. The two Cu atoms are bridged by two endogenous phenol O atoms, with a Cu...Cu distance of 2.8998 (7) Å. In the crystal structure, the perchlorate ions link the macrocycles through inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
