Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The design of new analogues of porphyrins and porphyrazines with various structures of the coordination center and periphery of the macrocycle, and the determination of their physico-chemical properties are perspective areas in the chemistry of the macrocyclic compounds. The modification of the coordination cavity size, as well as the type and number of central atoms, makes it possible to control the specific physico-chemical properties. The practical application of macroheterocyclic compounds in new areas, such as nonlinear optics, semiconductor and liquid crystal materials, sensor devices, oncology, etc., requires the expansion of their molecular architecture and methods of its construction. Moreover, it is necessary to increase the number of studies devoted to the determination of the relationship between the geometric and electronic structure of molecules and its reactivity under various external conditions as a basis in the development of new materials for the implementation of aimed processes.

We are pleased to invite you to present your works in this Special Issue, which considers experimental and calculated data on the structure of macroheterocyclic compounds.

Abstract

We reported in our previous paper that the UV-Vis spectra of different protonated species of complexes formed by gold(III) and five hydrazones derived from pyridoxal 5′-phosphate [...] Read more.
Gold(III) complexes with different ligands can provide researchers with a measure against pathogenic microorganisms with antibiotic resistance. We reported in our previous paper that the UV-Vis spectra of different protonated species of complexes formed by gold(III) and five hydrazones derived from pyridoxal 5′-phosphate are similar to each other and to the spectra of free protonated hydrazones. The present paper focuses on the reasons of the noted similarity in electron absorption spectra. The geometry of different protonated species of complexes of gold(III) and hydrazones (15 structures in total) was optimized using the density functional theory (DFT). The coordination polyhedron of gold(III) bond critical points were further studied to identify the symmetry of the gold coordination sphere and the type of interactions that hold the complex together. The UV-Vis spectra were calculated using TD DFT methods. The molecular orbitals were analyzed to interpret the calculated spectra. Full article

The geometry and electronic structures of iron(II) complexes with porphyrin (FeP) and tetrabenzoporphyrin (FeTBP) in ground and low-lying excited electronic states are determined by DFT (PBE0/def2-TZVP) calculations and the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method, followed by the [...] Read more.
The geometry and electronic structures of iron(II) complexes with porphyrin (FeP) and tetrabenzoporphyrin (FeTBP) in ground and low-lying excited electronic states are determined by DFT (PBE0/def2-TZVP) calculations and the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method, followed by the multiconfigurational quasi-degenerate second-order perturbation theory (MCQDPT2) approach to determine the dynamic electron correlation. The minima on the potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the ground (3A2g) and low-lying, high-spin (5A1g) electronic states correspond to the planar structures of FeP and FeTBP with D4h symmetry. According to the results of the MCQDPT2 calculations, the wave functions of the 3A2g and 5A1g electronic states are single determinant. The electronic absorption (UV–Vis) spectra of FeP and FeTBP are simulated within the framework of the simplified time-dependent density functional theory (sTDDFT) approach with the use of the long-range corrected CAM-B3LYP function. The most intensive bands of the UV–Vis spectra of FeP and FeTBP occur in the Soret near-UV region of 370–390 nm. Full article
