| Abstract: | Electron absorption and Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy was used to determine that the reaction of 1-methylimidazole (1-MeIm) with a nitrosyl complex of meso-tetra-p-tolylporphyrinate cobalt (Co(TTP)(NO)) at 210—240 K led to the formation of the six-coordinate complex (1-MeIm)Co(TTP)(NO), which was stable at low temperatures both in the solid state and in a solution of toluene. Based on the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constants, the thermodynamic parameters of complexation were calculated, which indicated a weak binding of the 1-methylimidazole ligand with the Co-porphyrin nitrosyl complex. |
