Synthesis, UV/vis, FT-IR and Mossbauer spectroscopic characterization and molecular structure of the Bis[4-(2-aminoethyl) morpholine](tetrakis(4-metoxyphenyl)porphyrinato) iron(II) complex

The synthesis, the UV-visible, FT-IR and Mossbauer spectroscopy and the crystal structure characterizations of the bis[4-(2-Aminoethyl)morpholine]tetrakis(4-metoxyphenyl)porphy-rinato)iron(II) complex are described. The title compound crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P-1, with a = 11.1253(4) angstrom, b = 11.2379(4) angstrom, c = 11.5488(4) angstrom, alpha = 72.304(2)degrees, beta = 86.002(2)degrees gamma = 72.066(2)degrees, V = 1308.28(8) angstrom(3), Z = 1. The Mossbauer data are consistent with an iron(II) low-spin (S = 0) porphyin species. The spin-state is confirmed by the value of the average equatorial iron-nitrogen pyrrole distance (Fe-Np = 1.988(2) angstrom) which is in the normal range of low-spin iron(II) porphyrins. The supramolecular architecture involve hydrogen bonding including C-H ... O and weak C-H ... Cg pi intermolecular interactions involving centroides (Cg) pyrrole and phenyl rings.
