Notes:
The octaethyltetrathiaporphyrin dication, OTP2+, forms 1:1 intermolecular donor-acceptor complexes with NiII-, VIVO- and FeIII-octaethylporphyrins. The association constants of the complexes are governed by the oxidation potential of the metallo-octaethylporphyrins and by secondary electrostatic interactions. Octaethylporphyrin, H2OEP, forms intermolecular complexes with OTP2+. Kinetic analyses of the formation of the various complexes revealed the formation of a primary complex exhibiting the stoichiometry (OTP2+)2(H2OEP). This intermolecular complex transforms into a thermodynamically stabilized intermolecular assembly with a stoichiometry corresponding to (OTP2+)4H2OEP. The activation barrier associated with the conversion of the primary complex to the thermodynamically stabilized assembly is Ea = 16·5 kcal mol-1 (1 kcal = 4·184 kJ). The association constant of the complex (OTP2+)2(H2OEP) is K1 = 1·3 × 1010 M-2 and the equilibrium constant between the two coexisting intermolecular complexes (OTP2+)4(H2OEP) and (OTP2+)2(H2OEP) is K2 = 7·4.
