N-fused isophlorin 3 and its tautomeric phlorin forms 4 and 5, the new constitutional isomers of porphyrin which preserve the basic skeleton of their maternal N-fused porphyrin, have been identified in the course of investigation of phosphorus insertion into N-fused porphyrin 2. N-fused porphyrin reacts with PCl₃ in toluene yielding phosphorus(V) N-fused isophlorin 3-P wherein the macrocycle acts as a trianionic tridentate ligand. The identical product has been formed in the reaction of N-confused porphyrin 1 and POCl₃ or PCl₃. The coordinating environment of phosphorus(V) in 3-P as determined by X-ray crystallography resembles a distorted trigonal pyramid with the nitrogen atoms occupying equatorial positions with the oxygen atom lying at the unique apex. Phosphorus(V) is significantly displaced by 0.732(1) Å from the N₃ plane. The P−N distances are as follows P−N(22) 1.664(2), P−N(23) 1.645(2), and P−N(24) 1.672(2). All P−N(pyrrolic) bond lengths are markedly shorter than the P−N distances in phosphorus porphyrins. 3-P is susceptible to proton addition at the inner C(9) carbon atom, yielding aromatic 4-P. The modified macrocycle acts as a dianionic ligand and allows the efficient 18 π-electron delocalization pathway. Two stereoisomers affording the syn (4-P_syn) and anti (4-P_anti) location of the H(9) atom with respect to the oxygen atom of the PO unit have been identified by ¹H NMR. A regioselective reduction of free base N-fused porphyrin 2 with NaBH₄ yielded a nonaromatic isomer of 4, that is, N-fused phlorin 5 due to an addition of a hydride to the C(15) carbon and a proton to one of the pyrrolic nitrogens. The isomer 5 reacts with PCl₃ yielding phosphorus(V) fused isophlorin 3-P. Density functional theory has been applied to model the molecular and electronic structure of porphyrin isomers 3, 4, and 5 and their phosphorus(V) complexes.
