The critical roles played by many biological macromolecules which incorporate metalloporphyrins (or the related corrins) as prosthetic groups have stimulated considerable interest recently in understanding the interplay and relative importance of the various components of metalloporphyrins in determining their biological mode of action.
To this end, a series of
chemical and solid-state structural studies for Mn(III) porphyrins and related compounds were recently begun in this laboratory.
Preliminary
results which dramatically demonstrate the stereochemical effect of having an occupied dz2 orbital in octahedral high-spin Mn(III) complexes (including a Mn(III) porphyrin) have already appeared (I).
The present work describes
solid-state structural studies of two 5-coordinate high-spin Mn(III) complexes which demonstrate the stereochemical effect of removing a neutral Lewis base (methanol) from the octahedral coordination polyhedron of Mn(TPP)(N3)(CH30H ) and the effect of replacing the dianionic ~,B,y,~-tetraphenylporphinato(TPP) macrocycle with a somewhat less constrained dianionic N, N'-ethylynebisacetylacetoniminato (acyn) Schiff base ligand (2). Two different crystalline forms of Mn(TPP)(N3) were obtained by 505

Conversion of
6-coordinate Mn(TPP)(N3)(CH3OH ) into 5-coordinate Mn(TPP)(N 3) by removal of the coordinated methanol has resulted in a shorter (and more "normal") Mn-toazide bond and a larger (by 0.183~) displacement of the Mn atom from the mean plane of the 24-atom porphine skeleton.

that a value of 2.38~ can probably be assigned to apical Mn-CI bonds in sterically non-hindered 5-co0rdinate Mn(lll) complexes.
A value of ~0.25~
for the displacement of the Mn atom from the mean plane of four pyrolle nitrogen atoms of the porphine skeleton seems to be a standard value for sterically non-hindered 5-coordinate Mn(lll) porphyrins.
A somewhat larger
displacement of the metal atom can be accomplished with ligands which are less constrained than the porphyrin macrocycle.
The porphine skeletons of

all three 5-coordinate porphyrin complexes are quite nonplanar, being ruffled in accord with approximate S 4 symmetry.
The acyn ligand is even less planar
with both of its essentially planar (to within 0.02~) 7-atom acetylaeetonimine (ONCs) skeletal groupings being folded along the O...N polyhedral edges by 15.2 ° and 19.2 ° away from the CI atom and out of the plane of the "square" base.
With the 4-atom ethylyne (N-C=C-N) grouping being similarly folded
along the N..-N polyhedral edge by 9.0 ° toward the CI atom, the distortion of the acyn ligand from planarity is seen to have a pattern similar to the S4 ruffling of porphine skeletons.
The rigid stereoehemical requirements of the
porphyrin macrocycle are therefore seen to produce coordination polyhedra with unique stereochemical parameters for 5-coordinate high-spin Mm(lll) porphyrin complexes.
