Iron(tetraphenylporphyrinato) chloride

Iron(tetraporphyriinato) chloride is the coordination complex with the formula Fe(TPP)Cl where TPP is the dianion [C44H28N4]2-. The compound is a blue microcrystals that dissolve in chlorinated solvent to give brown solutions. In terms of structure, the complex is five-coordinate with idealized C4v point group symmetry.[1]

Synthesis and reactions

Fe(TPP)Cl is prepared by the reaction of tetraphenylporphyrin (H2TPP) and ferrous chloride in the presence of air:

H2TPP + FeCl2 + 1/4 O2 → Fe(TPP)Cl + HCl + 1/2 H2O

The chloride can be replaced with other halides and pseudohalides. Base gives the "mu-oxo dimer":

2 Fe(TPP)Cl + 2 NaOH → [Fe(TPP)]2O + 2 NaCl + H2O

Most relevant to catalysis, the complex is easily reduced to give ferrous derivatives (L = pyridine, imidazole):

Fe(TPP)Cl + e- + 2 L → Fe(TPP)L2 + Cl-

The complex is widely studied as a catalyst.[2][3]
