Actinide porphyrin complexes

The first bis(porphyrin)actinide complexes have been prepared by reaction of M(NEt$\sb2$)$\sb4$ (where M = Th, U) with H$\sb2$TPP or H$\sb2$OEP. The coordination geometry of (TPP)$\sb2$Th is a distorted square-prism where the thorium center is displaced 1.47 A from each of the porphyrin N$\sb4$ planes; the porphyrin planes are separated by 2.94 A. The porphyrin macrocycles, held in such close proximity, interact electronically as shown by a shift in the porphyrin Soret band to higher energy and unusually facile oxidation processes relative to related monoporphyrin complexes.
