  • The Aromatic Pathways of Porphins, Chlorins and Bacteriochlorins¤
    The aromatic pathways of porphins, chlorins and bacteriochlorins¤ JonasJuse lius and Dage Sundholm Department of Chemistry, PO Box 55 (A.I. V irtasen Aukio 1), FIN-00014, University of Helsinki, Finland. E-mail: jonas=iki.Ð, sundholm=chem.helsinki.Ð Received 12th January 2000, Accepted 8th March 2000 Published on the Web 13th April 2000 The aromatic pathways of free-base porphins, chlorins and bacteriochlorins have been studied by calculating the nuclear magnetic shieldings at selected points outside the molecules. The strengths of the induced ring currents for a given magnetic Ðeld have been obtained by using the aromatic ring current shieldings (ARCS) method. We found that pyrrolic rings with an inner hydrogen have a local ring current of the same magnitude as the ring current for the pyrrole molecule. The local ring current for pyrrolic rings without an inner hydrogen is between half and one fourth of the pyrrole value depending on the porphyrin. TheC2H2 units of the pyrrolic rings in free-base porphin have recently been suggested to function as exocyclic bridges, but the present study indicates that this is not the case. The suggested 18p-[16]annulene inner cross aromatic pathway does not exist until all pyrrolic rings are saturated in the b-positions. Free-base trans-porphin was found to have the largest ring-current susceptibility among the molecules studied. Porphyrins for which the aromatic pathway has to pass the nitrogen of a pyrrolic unit with an inner hydrogen have signiÐcantly smaller ring currents than free-base trans-porphin. We also show that the 1H NMR shielding of the inner hydrogens is a sensitive measure of the strength of the ring current for the studied molecules.
