Notes:
Ab initio SCF MO calculations were carried out for fluoro(porphinato)iron(III) in order to elucidate the origin of the out-of-plane displacement of the iron atom and to analyze vibrational modes of the axial ligand bond. Potential curves as functions of the Fe out-of-plane displacement and Fe—F bond distance were calculated for the ground state. By using these potential curves, the equilibrium iron displacement, Fe—F bond distance, and normal mode frequency of the Fe—F stretching vibration were evaluated. The values are in good agreement with experimental values within the differences 0.02 Å, 0.06 Å, and 50 cm-1, respectively. It has been confirmed that the Fe out-of-plane displacement is caused mainly by the Coulomb repulsion between porphine nitrogens and fluorine anion.
