Abstract: The optical absorption and emission spectra as well as their rationalization in terms of iterative extended Hiickel (IEH) calculations are reported for eight Ru" and 0 s " complexes of octaethylporphyrin (OEP): Ru(OEP)pyz, R u ( 0 E P ) CO(py), Ru(OEP)NO(OMe) (2a-c); Os(OEP)pyl, Os(OEP)CO(py), Os(OEP)NO(OMe), Os(OEP)[P(OMe)3]2, Os(OEP)Nz(THF) (3a-e). (Here py = pyridine and T H F = tetrahydrofuran.) We also report on the OsIv and Osv' complexes Os(OEP)(OMe)z (4) and Os02(OEP) ( 5 ) . Improved syntheses or spectral and analytical characterizations are presented, especially for the complexes 2a-c, 3e, and 5. Comparison is also made to spectra and calculations for Fell porphyrin complexes with bispyridine (la) and carbonylpyridine (Ib). The absorption spectra of the Fell, RuIl, and Os" porphyrins have blue-shifted Q(T,T*) bands, indicating metal d, porphyrin eg(r*) back-bonding. All the species show evidence for extra electronic absorption bands in the visible-near UV region, which are interpreted by the IEH calculations as follows. Forbidden transitions d eg(s*) provide hints of absorption bands for the M" species 2b, 3b, 3d, and 3e. Extra allowed absorption of character a l u ( r ) , a2,,(*) [NO(**) e,(d,)] is apparent in 2c and 3c. I n 4 and 5 the extra allowed absorption bands are of al,(n), aZu(x) e,(d,) character. The extra allowed absorption bands for the bispyridine complexes 2a and 3a are attributed to doubly excited states of form [e,(d,)13 [al,(~),a2,(*)]3[e,(r*)]~. Four species luminesce: Ru(OEP)CO(py) (2b) shows phosphorescence from the ring Tl(n,?r*) level with origin at 653 nm; at 77 K it shows quantum yield @p 0.06 and an exponential decay with lifetime 405 ps. Os(OEP)NO(OMe) (3c) shows a similar emission with origin at 688 nm; at 77 K it has @p 3 X lO-3and a nonexponential decay that can be fit with decay times of 116 and 35 ps.

Introduction Iron porphyrins are important as prosthetic groups for a variety of hemoproteins. They can bind many small molecules and ions, and in these complexes show a variety of absorption ~ p e c t r a . ~Given - ~ the semiquantitative nature of electronic theory of large molecules, it would be nearly impossible to understand iron complexes alone; and only through the relationship to other metals can a sound understanding be reached. In this context comparisons of otherwise isosteric metalloporphyrins containing group homologues as central metals has revealed important details of the electronic ~ t r u c t u r e . ~ . ~ Table I lists the 12 Fe, Ru, and Os complexes that will be discussed in this paper and the abbreviations to be used for them. Optical absorption and emission data will be given on the ten R u and Os complexes, and iterative extended Huckel (IEH) calculations are reported for all complexes. W e shall compare the calculations on the Fe complexes to absorption spectra reported for iron mesoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester.5 W e shall also report detailed synthetic procedures and analytic characterizations for those species for which characterization has not appeared (2c, 3a) or for which the characterization is much improved (2a,b, 3a, 3e, 5 ) . Experimental Section Materials and Methods. (J.W.B. and P.D.S.) Elemental analyses were performed by Mikroanalytisches Laboratorium A. Bernhardt, D-525 1 Elbach, West Germany. Mass spectral data were taken on a Varian CH5 (70 eV) using a direct insertion probe, temperature ca. 200 OC. All solvents were distilled before use. Benzene and T H F were dried and stored over sodium. The quantitative electronic absorption spectra were taken with spectroscopic quality solvents (Uvasol, Merck). Column chromatography was performed with AI203 (Woelm) or silica gel (Woelm). Preparatory thin layer chromatography was accomplished with silica gel H, type 60, Stahl (Merck), on 20 X 100 cm glass 0002-7863/78/lS00-3015$01 .OO/O
plates (0.5-mm layer thickness). Instead of melting point determination, analytical thin layer chromatography on metal cards of silica gel SI (Riedel de Haen) with CH2C12 or benzene was used as a criterion of purity. R u ~ ( C O )was I ~ purchased from Alpha Inorganics. Carbonyl(octaethylporphinato)pyridineosmium(lI) (3b),8 methoxonitrosonium(octaethylporphinato)osmium(ll) ( 3 ~ ) , oc~ taethylporphinatobis(trimethy1 phosphite)osmium(II) (3d),8 bis(methoxo)(octaethylporphinato)osmium(IV) (4)? dinitrogen(octaethylporphinato)tetrahydrofuranosmium(II) (3e),l I and octaethylporphinatodioxoosmium(V1) (5)'O were prepared from octaethylporphyrin [H,(OEP)] by the literature methods cited. Carbonyl(octaethylporphinato)pyridineruthenium(lI)(2b). Following earlier w0rkers~~.'3 a solution of Hz(0EP) (500 mg, 0.94 mmol) and 1.O g of Ru~(C0)12in 200 mL of benzene was allowed to reflux under nitrogen for 60 h. After the addition of I O mL of pyridine, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and the remaining residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column (activity grade I, Woelm) by eluting with CH2C12. After filtration and evaporation, the desired product was crystallized from 40 m L of CHzClz-MeOH-pyridine (49:49:2) giving 66 mg (53%) of Ru(OEP)CO(py) (2b). Anal.

Modifying a procedure of Whitten et aI.,l4 a solution of 100 mg (0.14 mmol) of Ru(OEP)CO(py) (2b) in 70 mL of pyridine was allowed to reflux under Ar for 1 h. After cooling, the solution was irradiated with a 125-W mercury lamp (Pyrex filter) for 20 h, while continually flushing the solution with Ar. The solution was then reduced to a 2-mL volume by boiling off the pyridine. After cooling, 102 mg (95%) of long, reddish-black needles of Ru(0EP)pyz (2a) were recovered by suction filtration and washed several times with cold MeOH. Anal.

After three similar gas exposure cycles, the A1203 thin layer chromatogram showed complete conversion of the starting material. The solution was then flushed with Ar and evaporated to dryness. The residue was chromatographed on a column of A1203(neutral, activity grade 111) by eluting with CH2C12. Crystallization from CH2ClzMeOH (2:l) afforded 48 mg (55%) of Ru(OEP)NO(OMe) (2c). Anal.

Measurement of Optical Emission (A.A., M.G., and P.D.S.) Our emission apparatus has been described previousIy.l5 An additional new feature was that the data were fed via an a-d converter into a PDP 8 / e computer, which plotted the uncorrected as well as the corrected spectra on a Calcomp-565. The emission spectra were corrected for the monochromator and photomultiplier tube wavelength sensitivity. Excitation spectra were taken for all emission peaks and all the reported emission peaks belonged to the main absorbing species. Occasional weak emission was observed from species reported as nonemitting, but all such emissions were shown by excitation spectra to belong to impurities. Our solvent of choice for emission studies was 3-methylpentane, which is particularly inert and forms a glass at 77 K. However, because of insolubility, we used EPA (ethyl ether-isopentane-ethanol, 5:5:2) for Os(OEP)(OMe)z; also Os02(0EP) ( 5 ) was insoluble in common glass forming solvents and was studied in acetone. Os(OEP)Nz(THF) was studied in the solution of T H F and hydrazine hydrate in which the compound is generated from 5.Il All ten Ru and Os complexes (Table I) were examined for emission in undegassed solutions at room temperature (300 K) and in liquid nitrogen (77 K). We covered the spectral range between 600 and 850 nm. In no case did we observe emission from undegassed samples at room temperature. Six of the complexes showed no emission at all, and we conclude that any quantum yield is below ca. W e also studied Ru(OEP)CO(py), Os(OEP)NO(OMe), Os(OEP)N2(THF), and O s 0 2 ( 0 E P ) in deoxygenated solutions at room temperature. These solutions were prepared by bubbling argon deep into the solution through the fine capillary ending of a glass dropper for about 15 min. Then the absorption cell (SCC brand) was capped tightly, while bubbling argon close to the surface of the solution. Solutions deoxygenated in this way maintained constant emission over several hours at room temperature. W e observed phosphorescence of R u ( 0 E P ) CO(py) at room temperature in deoxygenated solutions both of 3methylpentane and of EPA: similarly, we sbserved emission of O s 0 2 ( 0 E P ) both in acetone and in benzene; however, similar preparations of Os(OEP)NO(OMe) both in EPA and in acetone and of Os(OEP)N2(THF) in T H F showed no observable emission. Quantum yields for the four complexes that showed emission, 2b, 3b, 3c, and 5, were estimated relative to Zn(Etio-I), whose fluorescence yield is & = 0.04 both at room and low temperature.I5-l7The yield studies of 2b, 3b, and 3c were done vs. Zn(Etio-I), all in EPA at 77 K. The yield of 5 was determined in a degassed solution vs. Zn(Etio-I), both in benzene at room temperature. Yield estimates were based on the following numbers: ( I ) The intensity of the exciting source at the exciting wavelength had been previously determined using a radiometer.'* (2) The optical density (OD) of the standard and the unknown were determined on a Cary 14; dilute solutions with O D in the range 0.1 0-0.16 were used except for one run on 3b, which was studied with O D = 0.46 to enhance its very weak emission. (3) The intensity of emission was estimated by measuring the area of the uncorrected emission spectrum and multiplying by the detector sensitivity at the mean wavelength. Factors ( I ) , (2), and (3) can be

Based on energy levels reported in ref 23. Exponents used for iron: 1.38 (s); 1.38 (p); 3.06 (d). Another extrapolation method gave 9.38 for this value; complexes 2a-c were run with this value too with much the same results. Another set of values [ 17.26 (s), 12.1 1 (p), 19.4 (d)] was extrapolated by another method, but gave similar results in several tests. combined to determine quantum yield in the expected rnanner.l5 For 2b and 3c, our precision on several quantum yield determinations was within f 15%; however, the crudeness of our method suggests that the reported yield values should be considered valid only within f30%. For 3b and 5 we had larger precision errors, and these yields should be considered valid only within f 5 0 % . The apparatus for the determination of lifetimes has also been described previously.'5 The lifetime of the strobotac flash sets a lower limit to the lifetime we can measure as 1 6 ~ s . Iterative Extended Hiickel (IEH) Method (A.A. and M.G.). The iterative extended Hiickel method and the program used have been previously reported along with parameters for H , C, N , 0, and P.19-21 The ionization potentials used for iron were also given earlier.I9 However, the basis set exponentials for the metals (Table 111) were obtained by the method of Cusachs et The exponentials for s and p orbitals were taken to be [(n % ) / ( r ) ] and f o r d orbitals [(n '/2)(n l ) / ( r 2 ) ] i /where 2 n is the principal quantum number and ( r ) , ( r ) 2are atomic values obtained from S C F calculations.22 Although these exponents are slightly different from those used in earlier work,19 comparison runs on Fe, Co, and Ni gave no significant differences. The ionization energies for Ru and Os (Table 111) were calculated in the same manner as before,I9 based on the spectroscopic tables of Moore.23 (For details, see McGlynn et al.24) The geometry of the planar porphine ring was the same as that used p r e v i o ~ s l yexcept , ~ ~ for displacement of the N atoms in accord with metal-nitrogen bond distance estimates. Metals were placed in the porphine ring plane. Crystal structures of Fe and Ru porphyrins have been studied.25,26The Os to ring nitrogen distance was taken the same as for Ru, since they both have the same covalent radii.27 Metal to ligand bond lengths and angles involving the fifth and sixth ligands have been approximated from structure studies of similar compounds having the same oxidation state. These various bond lengths and angles are listed in Table IV. The orientation of the porphyrin molecules with respect to coordinate axes was such that the center of the coordinate system coincided with the center of the porphyrin plane and the nitrogens of the ring were on the x, y axes. The orientation of the ligands was chosen so as to maximize the number of symmetry planes for economy in computation time. Pyridine and TH F were taken to be planar rings in the s z plane, keeping the bond distances and angles as close as possible to x-ray values. For the methoxy groups, the M - 0 - C (M = metal) bond angle was taken as 120" with the three atoms located in the xz plane; the hydrogens were in tetrahedral positions around the 0 - C bond; one of the hydrogens was in the xz plane, thus preserving the xz symmetry plane: the hydrogen in the xz plane was located distal from the porphyrin ring. For Os(P)[P(OMe)3]2 the three oxygen atoms were in tetrahedral positions; one O C bond was located in the xz plane; the other two O C bonds were parallel to the porphyrin plane; the methyl groups were tetrahedral and placed so as to avoid close approaches; the entire molecule had two planes of symmetry.

Results and Discussion Constitution of the Compounds. The constitution of most of the compounds under investigation has been corroborated elsewhere.*-[ Additional evidence from elemental analysis, mass spectra, and N M R was reported above. Further support comes from parallel 1R data between homologous Fe, Ru, and Os porphyrins. Thus the IR spectrum of the new RuI1 nitrosonium methoxide, 2c, shows the following bands characteristic for the axial ligands: 2775, 1055 ( U C H , vco of the methoxide ligand), 1780 ( U N O of the nitrosonium ion), and 491 cm-l (UR,,O of the methoxide ligand). The corresponding values of the 0sI1 analogue, 3c, appear at 2780, 1065, 1745, and 497 cm-l ,9 the lower NO-stretching frequency indicating stronger back-bonding in'this compound as compared with 2c. Special care has been devoted to the identification of the bis(pyridine) complexes, 2a and 3a, because of the difficulties encountered in the interpretation of the IEH calculations discussed below. In addition to support from a crystal structure,28 we prepared a large variety of bis(nitrogen base) complexes Os(OEP)L2, where L. = y-picoline, MeCN, NMe3,

The spectral and electrochemical data on these complexes fully correspond to the electron donor-acceptor balance expected for these ligands.29 The typical IR vibrations for coordinated pyridine are found in 2a a t 1580, 1448, and 1268 cm-I and in 3a at 1590, 1440, and 1270 cm-I. Especially noteworthy are the large upfield shifts of the mesoprotons of the porphyrin ring in the ' H N M R I spectra of 2a and 3a (Table 11); they indicate a high charge !I (d,d) density on the porphyrin ring which is also evidenced by the I IEH calculations (see below). Review of Porphyrin Electronic Spectra. Before presenting the particular results on the absorption and emission spectra of Ru and Os complexes, it is useful to summarize the general classification scheme recently developed by two of the authors for porphyrin ~ p e c t r a ,because ~ . ~ the Ru and Os spectra provide variations on the categories previously described.

The near-IR absorption [inset for Os(OEP)pyz] should be multiplied by 0.038 to compare to visible-UV spectrum; arrows show peaks (Table V, footnote c ) , attributed to charge transfer (d,.rr*) excited states.
