Abstract
The reaction between coproporphyrin I tetraethyl ester and ruthenium(II) dodecacarbonyl in toluene is investigated. The formation of two different products, complexes 2 and 3 of ruthenium(II) with coproporphyrin I tetraethyl ester, studied by means of mass spectrometry, electronic absorption spectroscopy, NMR, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis, is revealed. Structures are proposed for the products, of which (2) is a monocarbonyl complex of ruthenium(II) porphyrin that exists as a coordination polymer formed owing to intermolecular axial bonding between the oxygen atoms of carboethoxyl groups and ruthenium(II). The structure proposed for second product (3) is in the form of the corresponding monomer of a monocarbonyl complex of ruthenium(II) porphyrin. It is established that polymeric complex 2 transforms into monomeric complex 3 when it is heating in pyridine.
