Abstract

Tin(II)-porphyrin compounds are rare when compared to those of tin(IV)-
porphyrin compounds. But tin(II)-porphyrin compounds are known and exhibit as
excellent reducing agents. The stable octaethyl-porphyrinato-tin(II) is known with its
crystal structure. The structural preferences and the stability of tin(II)-porphyrin
compounds of the type SnP, where, P = porphyrin (1); Octamethylporphyrin (2);
Octaethylporphyrin (3); Octa-n-propyl-porphyrin (4); Octa-isopropyl-porphyrin (5);
Octa-n-butyl-porphyrin (6) and Octa-tert-butyl-porphyrin (7) are studied using the
Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. Computational chemistry tools like DFT
methods can aid to study and model compounds with experimental handling
difficulties. Here we have studied the viability of the different tin(II)-porphyrin
compounds with substitutions at the porphyrin ring. Our results predict the non-viable
nature of some selected tin(II)-porphyrins as well as the possible formation of tin(II)-
porphyrin complexes in selected cases.
