A series of water-soluble metalloporphyrins has been prepared and the redox chemistry investigated by electrochemical and pulse radiolytic techniques. All of the metalloporphyrins exhibit reasonably intense absorption transitions (upsilon = ca. 2 x 10/sup 4/ dm/sup 3/ mol/sup -1/ cm/sup -1/) in the visible region and a strong absorption (upsilon = (2-7) x 10/sup 5/ dm/sup 3/ mol/sup -1/ cm/sup -1/) around 430 nm. Cyclic voltammetry showed that the compounds undergo well-defined reduction and oxidation steps, although the oxidation processes were not really reversible. For diamagnetic metalloporphyrins, the difference in E/sub 1/2/ between addition and removal of an electron for a particular compound was 2.05 +/- 0.20 V while the difference in E/sub 1/2/ between addition of one and two electrons was 0.28 +/- 0.12 V. Similarly, E/sub 1/2/ for the removal of a second electron from the porphyrin ..pi.. system was some 0.25 +/- 0.10 V higher than that for removal of the first electron. These findings are consistent with the central metal ion exerting only an inductive effect upon the porphyrin ..pi.. levels. The absorption spectra of the one-electron reduction and oxidation products were recorded by pulse radiolysis methods. Both products exhibit broad absorption transitions stretching across the entire visible and near-IR regions. The reduction products were identified as ..pi..-radical anions and, in many cases, these were unstable with respect to disproportionation. The oxidation products were identified as ..pi..-radical cations and these were also unstable in aqueous solution but the decay route remains obscure. 44 references, 6 figures, 3 tables.
