PorphyStruct - Structural Analysis of Porphyrinoids

Krumsieck, Jens; Bröring, Martin

Abstract

While the non-planar displacements of porphyrins and their consequences on both chemical and physical properties were investigated using the NSD method of J. A. Shelnutt and its reimplementation by C. J. Kingsbury and M. O. Senge, such a method did not exist for other porphyrinoids, like corroles, for a long time. PorphyStruct is a digital tool for the quantitative analysis of out-of-plane distortion modes for a variety of porphyrinoids. An analysis of the vibrational normal modes obtained by DFT calculations showed that the established non-planar vibrational modes of porphyrins - Doming, Saddling, Ruffling, Waving (X, Y) and Propellering, are also observable in the less symmetric porphyrinoids. These are used describe and quantify the conformations of corroles and other macrocycles. As in the NSD method, the minimal basis is formed from the first set of the 6 vibrational modes - the extended basis includes another set of the 6 vibrational modes. An examination of already published corroles showed a peculiarity in copper corroles - they can only be described with the extended basis and show a substantial amount of both saddling variants – we called this phenomenon “Supersaddling”.

Conformational Analysis for a variety of Porphyrinoids While the non-planar displacements of Porphyrins and their consequences on both chemical and physical properties were investigated using the NSD Method, such a method did not exist for other porphyrinoids, like Corroles, for a long time. With PorphyStruct such analyses are possible for Porphyrins, Corroles, Norcorroles, Corrphycenes and Porphycenes and their structural relatives. A Minimal and Extended Basis of reference structures is available for each of those macrocyclic types. In most cases the minimal basis is sufficient to describe the conformation.

First analyses indicate dependencies on central atom, substitution pattern and non-innocence characteristics. Doming,saddling and ruffling modes are often found side by side, and waving modes are more salient than within porphyrin structures. The overall commonnes of modes follows their energetic order in the calculated reference. For comparability, the analyses were performed with the extended basis and a composite value (comp) was calculated for each of the 6 modes. Supersaddling is a phenomenon exclusive for coinage metal complexes (mostly Cu). These complexes are the only ones that exhibit an extremely strong saddling2 contribution in addition to saddling1. This structural pattern results from an antiferromagnetic coupling of the Cu 3d(x²-y²) electron with the corrole π-radical. The minimal basis therefore can not describe these complexes.
