Db. Berezin et al., Solvation and molecular distortion effects in the thermochemistry of protonation of tetraphenylporphine derivatives, RUSS J G CH, 70(9), 2000, pp. 1453-1457
The euthalpies of solution (298.15 K) of tetraphenylporphine and its N-meth
yl derivative in chloroform and chloroform-trichloroacetic acid were determ
ined. In acidic medium, unlike neutral, the enthalpy of solution DeltaH(sol
) depends on porphyrin concentration. Factors controlling the standard enth
alpies of solution of the porphyrins in acidic medium were discussed. An im
portant role specific solvation plays in the energy of solution of the porp
hyrins was noted.
