Title: | Molecular Structures and Absorption Spectra Assignment of Corrole NH Tautomers | Authors: | Beenken, Wichard Presselt, Martin Ngo, Thien H. Dehaen, Wim MAES, Wouter Kruk, Mikalai |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Source: | JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A, 118 (5), p. 862-871 | Abstract: | The individual absorption spectra of the two NH tautomers of 10-(4,6-dichloropyrimidin-5-yl)-5,15-dimesitylcorrole are assigned on the basis of the Gouterman four-orbital model and a quantum chemical TD-DFT study. The assignment indicates that the red-shifted T1 tautomer is the one with protonated pyrrole nitrogen atoms N(21), N(22) and N(23), whereas the blue-shifted T2 tautomer has pyrrole nitrogen atoms N(21), N(22) and N(24) protonated. A wave-like nonplanar distortion of the macrocycle in the ground state is found for both NH tautomers, with the wave axis going through the pyrroles containing N(22) and N(24). The 7C plane determined by the least-squares distances to the carbon atoms C1, C4, C5, C6, C9, C16, and C19 is suggested as a mean corrole macrocycle plane for the analysis of out-of-plane distortions. The magnitude of these distortions is distinctly different for the two NH tautomers, leading to substantial perturbations of their acid–base properties, which are rationalized by the interplay of the degree of out-of-plane distortion of the macrocycle as a whole and the tendency of the pyrrole nitrogen atoms toward pyramidalization, with the former leading to a basicity increase whereas the latter enhances the acidity. | Notes: | Beenken, W (reprint author), Ilmenau Univ Technol, Inst Phys, POB 100565, D-98684 Ilmenau, Germany. wichard.beenken@tu-ilmenau.de | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/16695 | ISSN: | 1089-5639 | e-ISSN: | 1520-5215 | DOI: | 10.1021/jp411033h | ISI #: | 000331153400009 | Rights: | © 2014 American Chemical Society | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2015 |
