Abstract:
The first metalated porphyrazinediols 11 have been prepared from (L)-(+)-dimethyl tartrate via conversion into the corresponding dispoke or 2,3-dimethoxy-2,3-butanediyl protected 2,3-dihydroxymaleonitrile, Linstead macrocyclization, transmetalation, and deprotection. Their stability is very dependent on the nature of the metal ion in the cavity of the porphyrazine. Reaction of these porphyrazinediols with metallocene dichlorides led to new solitaire porphyrazines 12 while DDQ oxidation followed by trapping with diaminomaleonitrile afforded new porphyrazine dinitriles 14.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
Preparation of Diols and Pinacol Rearrangement
