description

Despite similar ring deformations in solution and in the solid state, the chloroiron(III) derivative of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin ([FeCl(oetpp)], shown schematically) prepared in this study exhibits only a very weak quantum-mechanical admixture of spin S=3/2 (only 4-10 %) with spin S=5/2. In contrast, for the variety of [FeCl(oetpp)] studied earlier by other researchers a 40 % contribution of the S=3/2 state was found.
