Accessing of the mixed-valence states in the zinc meso-ferrocenylporphyrin: experimental and theoretical data.

Abstract

The formation of the stable at room temperature mixed-valence state in the zinc 5,10,15,20-tetra(ferrocenyl)porphyrin has been investigated by UV-V1S-NIR, Mossbauer, NMR, electrochemical, and theoretical (DFT) methods. On the basis of experimental and theoretical data it has been concluded that the first oxidation process involves.
